Description

The impressionist painting depicts young men dressed in swimsuits having a leisurely day along the banks of Lez river near Montpellier. Bazille achieved the look he wanted for the painting by first drawing the human figures in his Paris studio and then transporting the drawings to the outdoor setting. Like his earlier painting Réunion de famille (1850), Scène d’été captured friends and family members in the outdoors and was exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1870.

It may have been an inspiration for Thomas Eakins’ The Swimming Hole (1885), as Eakins was in Paris in 1870 and could have seen Bazille’s painting.
