For the last decade of his life, Renoir lived and worked at Les Collettes, his estate in the South of France. Surrounded by olive trees and rolling hills, the property represented for Renoir a kind of preindustrial Eden, far removed from rapidly modernizing Paris. It was here that he produced this bathing group and countless other scenes of sensual nudes lounging in sun-dappled landscapes—fantasies of the female body in total harmony with nature.
