"Baigneuse" (also known as "The Bather") is a notable painting by the French artist Jean-Jacques Henner (1829–1905). Renowned for his use of sfumato and chiaroscuro techniques, Henner often depicted mythological subjects and nudes with a distinctive blend of realism and idealism. "Baigneuse" is emblematic of his style, showcasing a solitary female figure bathing, a theme popular in the academic art of the 19th century.

The painting is characterized by its soft focus and the ethereal quality of the bather, who is typically rendered with pale, luminous skin that contrasts with a dark, indistinct background. This contrast emphasizes the sensuality and vulnerability of the figure while also highlighting Henner's skill in rendering the human form. The bather's pose and the intimate nature of the scene suggest a moment of private reverie, inviting viewers to contemplate the beauty of the human body and the act of bathing as a ritual of purification.

Henner's "Baigneuse" reflects the influence of both the academic tradition and the emerging Symbolist movement, which sought to express ideas and emotions through powerful imagery. The painting's dreamlike quality and focus on sensuality align it with Symbolist aesthetics, while its technical execution demonstrates the artist's academic training and mastery of traditional painting techniques.

The work is part of a larger oeuvre by Henner that includes numerous paintings of bathers and nudes, which were highly regarded during his lifetime and contributed to his reputation as a leading figure in French art. Today, "Baigneuse" is considered an important example of Henner's contribution to 19th-century French painting and continues to be studied for its artistic and historical significance. The painting is held in various art collections and has been exhibited in museums around the world, offering insight into the themes and styles that dominated the period in which Henner worked.
