"Bathers" is a notable painting by the French artist Hippolyte Petitjean, who was a prominent figure in the Neo-Impressionist movement. Created in the late 19th or early 20th century, the work exemplifies Petitjean's dedication to the pointillist technique, a method characterized by the application of small, distinct dots of color that collectively form an image when viewed from a distance. This technique was pioneered by Georges Seurat and Paul Signac, both of whom significantly influenced Petitjean's artistic development.

Petitjean, born in 1854 in Mâcon, France, initially trained under the academic painter Alexandre Cabanel. However, his artistic direction shifted dramatically after encountering the works of the Neo-Impressionists. By adopting their innovative approach to color and light, Petitjean sought to capture the vibrancy and dynamism of natural scenes. "Bathers" is a quintessential example of this endeavor, depicting a serene riverside scene where figures are engaged in leisurely activities by the water.

The composition of "Bathers" is meticulously structured, with Petitjean employing a harmonious palette that emphasizes the interplay of light and shadow. The figures in the painting are rendered with a sense of fluidity and grace, their forms subtly integrated into the surrounding landscape. This integration reflects Petitjean's interest in the unity of human figures with nature, a theme recurrent in his oeuvre.

"Bathers" not only showcases Petitjean's technical prowess but also his philosophical alignment with the Neo-Impressionist ideals of harmony and scientific precision in art. The painting is celebrated for its tranquil beauty and its contribution to the broader narrative of post-Impressionist art. Today, "Bathers" remains an important work for understanding the evolution of modern art and Petitjean's role within it.
