"La Grande Baigneuse," also known as "The Valpinçon Bather," is an iconic oil painting by the French Neoclassical artist Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, completed in 1808. The work is renowned for its serene atmosphere and the smooth, polished finish that Ingres achieved, which became a hallmark of his style. The painting depicts a solitary female nude from the back, seated on a draped chaise longue and looking over her right shoulder. Her pose is both classical and sensuous, reflecting Ingres's fascination with idealized beauty and the female form.

The painting is considered a masterpiece of Neoclassical art, exemplifying Ingres's skill in rendering the human figure and his ability to imbue a simple scene with a sense of grace and tranquility. "La Grande Baigneuse" showcases Ingres's departure from the more dynamic compositions of his contemporaries, favoring a calm and ordered depiction that draws heavily on the influence of his mentor, Jacques-Louis David, and the study of ancient sculpture.

Throughout his career, Ingres returned to the theme of the bather multiple times, and "La Grande Baigneuse" is one of the earliest and most celebrated examples of this motif in his oeuvre. The painting's composition, with its subtle play of light and shadow, and the meticulous attention to the contours of the human body, demonstrate Ingres's commitment to the refinement of form and his pursuit of ideal beauty.

"La Grande Baigneuse" is held in the collection of the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it continues to be studied and admired for its technical precision and its embodiment of Neoclassical aesthetics. The work has been influential in the history of art, impacting both Ingres's contemporaries and subsequent generations of artists, and it remains a subject of scholarly interest for its contributions to the development of 19th-century French painting.
