Cézanne painted bathers from the 1870s onwards, including numerous
compositions of male and female bathers, singly or in groups. Late in life,
he painted three large-scale female bather groups. In such works, Cézanne
was reinterpreting a long tradition of paintings with nude figures in the
landscape by artists such as Titian and Poussin. - art-Cezanne.com

Renoir and Monet began portraying the same landscape in 1869, when they
simultaneously painted at the famous waterside café La Grenouillère (The
Frogpond) at Bougival. This collaboration has often been analyzed and used
to point out the real aesthetic differences between the two artists - Monet,
the painter of light and water, and Renoir, the painter of the human form.
