"A River Scene with Boys Bathing" is an oil painting created around 1817 by the English artist John Crome, also known as Old Crome, to distinguish him from his son, John Berney Crome. As a prominent member of the Norwich School of painters, John Crome is celebrated for his landscape paintings that capture the beauty of the English countryside, particularly around Norfolk.

This painting, measuring 46.4 x 56.5 cm, is held in the collection of the Tate Gallery in London, having been bequeathed by Henry Vaughan in 1900. The artwork depicts a serene and bucolic scene along a river, where boys are seen enjoying a summer's day by bathing in the water. The composition is characterized by its naturalistic representation of the English landscape, with attention to the effects of light and atmosphere that were hallmarks of Crome's work.

The scene is framed by lush trees and foliage, with the river acting as a central element that draws the viewer's eye into the painting. The boys, while not the sole focus of the work, provide a sense of liveliness and human presence within the tranquil setting. Crome's use of light and shadow, as well as his skillful rendering of the reflections on the water's surface, contribute to the overall sense of depth and realism in the painting.

"A River Scene with Boys Bathing" is considered an example of Crome's mature style, where he demonstrates a masterful balance between detailed observation and the expressive potential of paint. The work reflects the artist's deep appreciation for nature and his ability to convey the simple pleasures of rural life. It remains an important piece within the oeuvre of John Crome and the Norwich School, contributing to our understanding of early 19th-century British landscape painting.
