"The Bath of Diana: A Study for The Repose of Diana" is a notable work by the German painter Hans von Marees, created in 1863 as a preparatory study for his larger composition, "The Repose of Diana." This artwork exemplifies Marees's exploration of mythological themes and his interest in the human figure, which were central to his oeuvre. The study depicts the classical goddess Diana, known for her chastity and connection to the hunt, in a moment of tranquility and vulnerability during her bath.

Marees, who was part of the German idealist tradition, sought to transcend the mere imitation of nature in his work, aiming instead to capture the essence of form and idea. "The Bath of Diana" reflects this philosophical approach, showcasing his skill in rendering the human body and his nuanced use of light and shadow to evoke a serene and contemplative mood. The study is characterized by its fluid lines and harmonious composition, which would inform the final version of "The Repose of Diana."

As a study, the piece provides insight into Marees's artistic process, revealing how he meticulously planned his compositions and experimented with form and content before executing his larger-scale paintings. "The Bath of Diana" is significant not only as a work of art in its own right but also as a window into the creative methodology of one of the 19th century's most introspective and poetic artists. The artwork is held in high regard for its contribution to the understanding of Marees's development as an artist and for its place within the broader context of German art history during the period.
