"Before Bathing" (Hungarian: Fürdés előtt) is a notable painting by the Hungarian artist Pál Szinyei Merse, created in 1885. As a prominent figure in the development of Hungarian art, Szinyei Merse is celebrated for his pioneering role in the introduction of modern plein air painting in Hungary. "Before Bathing" exemplifies his skillful use of light and color, reflecting the influence of Impressionism, which he encountered during his studies and travels in Western Europe.

The painting depicts a scene of leisure and preparation, capturing a moment before the act of bathing, which is a recurring theme in art history, often associated with the representation of beauty, intimacy, and the contemplation of everyday life. Szinyei Merse's treatment of the subject is notable for its vibrant palette and the way he captures the effects of natural light on the figures and their surroundings, imbuing the scene with a sense of immediacy and vitality.

"Before Bathing" is considered one of Szinyei Merse's significant works, contributing to his reputation as a key figure in the transition from traditional academic art to more modern artistic movements in Hungary. The painting is often highlighted for its art historical importance in the context of Hungarian Impressionism and for its role in Szinyei Merse's oeuvre, which was instrumental in shaping the course of Hungarian painting at the turn of the 20th century.

The artwork is held in high esteem both for its aesthetic qualities and for its cultural significance, as it reflects the changing social and artistic attitudes of its time. "Before Bathing" remains an important piece for scholars studying the evolution of European art and for those interested in the unique contributions of Hungarian artists to the broader Impressionist movement.
