"The Banks of the Lez" is an oil on canvas painting by the French Impressionist painter Jean Frédéric Bazille, created in 1870. This artwork, measuring 100 x 82 cm, is housed in the Musée Fabre in Montpellier, France. The painting depicts a serene landscape along the Lez River, which flows near Montpellier, Bazille's hometown. It is one of the artist's later works, as Bazille's career was tragically cut short when he died at the age of 28 in the Franco-Prussian War.

In "The Banks of the Lez," Bazille captures a moment of leisure, featuring figures that are believed to be his friends and family relaxing by the riverbank. The composition is characterized by its bright, natural light and the artist's use of vivid colors, which reflect the influence of Impressionism on his style. The painting is notable for its loose brushwork and the sense of immediacy it conveys, hallmarks of the Impressionist movement that Bazille helped to pioneer.

Bazille's work is often celebrated for its contribution to the development of Impressionism, and "The Banks of the Lez" is a prime example of his talent in capturing the effects of light and atmosphere. Despite his brief career, Bazille's paintings are considered important for their early embrace of Impressionist techniques and for the insight they provide into the evolution of the movement. "The Banks of the Lez" remains a significant piece within Bazille's oeuvre, illustrating the artist's keen observation of nature and his ability to translate it into a harmonious and evocative composition.
