"Summer Scene" (French: "Scène d'été"), also known as "Bathers" (French: "Les Baigneurs"), is an oil painting by the French Impressionist painter Jean Frédéric Bazille. Created in 1869, the painting is one of Bazille's most celebrated works and exemplifies the artist's fascination with outdoor light and leisure activities during the Second Empire in France.

The painting, measuring 158 cm by 158 cm, is housed in the Fogg Museum, part of Harvard Art Museums in Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States. "Summer Scene" depicts a group of young men enjoying a leisurely day by the riverside, a common recreational theme among the Impressionist circle, which included artists like Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. The scene is set in the countryside, possibly near Montpellier in southern France, where Bazille's family owned property.

In "Summer Scene," Bazille explores the interplay of light and shadow, using a bright and vibrant palette to capture the luminosity of the summer sun. The composition is notable for its candid portrayal of the male figures, who are depicted in various states of undress and relaxation, engaging in the popular 19th-century pastime of bathing in natural settings. The painting's loose brushwork and attention to the effects of natural light are characteristic of the Impressionist movement, although Bazille's work also retains some elements of the academic tradition, such as careful composition and a certain clarity of form.

Tragically, Bazille's promising career was cut short when he died at the age of 28 while fighting in the Franco-Prussian War. "Summer Scene" thus stands as a poignant reminder of the artist's potential and his contribution to the development of Impressionism. The painting is often discussed in the context of Bazille's small but significant oeuvre and is considered a key piece in understanding the evolution of outdoor scenes in French modernist painting.
