''Bain turc ou Bain maure (deux femmes)'' (Turkish Bath or Moorish Bath (Two Women)) is a 19th-century painting by the French artist Jean-Léon Gérôme, known for his works that often depicted Orientalist themes. Created in 1889, this artwork is a testament to Gérôme's fascination with the Near East and his dedication to portraying the exotic and sensual aspects of its culture, which was a popular subject among European audiences at the time.

The painting features two women in a sumptuously decorated bathhouse, which is characteristic of the Islamic architecture of the period. The scene is set within a Moorish or Turkish bath, known as a hammam, a place of social gathering and ritual cleansing that held an exotic allure for Western viewers. The composition captures the intimate and serene atmosphere of the bath, with attention to the intricate tile work, the play of light and shadow, and the reflective properties of water and marble surfaces.

Gérôme's meticulous brushwork and his use of chiaroscuro enhance the sensuality and tranquility of the scene. The figures are rendered with a smooth, almost sculptural quality, showcasing the artist's skill in depicting the human form. The women's poses and the calm ambiance suggest a moment of relaxation and leisure, away from the gaze of the outside world.

''Bain turc ou Bain maure (deux femmes)'' is part of Gérôme's broader body of work that contributed to the Orientalist movement in European art. This movement was characterized by Western artists' romanticized and often stereotypical portrayals of Eastern cultures. Gérôme's paintings, in particular, have been both praised for their technical prowess and criticized for their role in perpetuating colonial attitudes and misconceptions about the East.

Today, the painting is not only appreciated for its aesthetic qualities but also studied within the context of 19th-century colonial history and cultural representation. It serves as a valuable example of how art can reflect and shape perceptions of other cultures, and it continues to be a subject of scholarly interest in discussions of Orientalism and postcolonial theory.
