More about this artwork

by Sir John Lavery is a vibrant and lively oil painting that pulsates with the leisurely atmosphere of a summer day. Captured at the Chiswick Baths, this luminescent composition showcases a bustling scene of bathers enjoying the cool embrace of the water during a warm day.The painting is divided into compelling visual segments—a formal pool area flanked by lush greenery and a busy spectator area. The palette is composed of breezy blues and vivid greens which balance splendidly with bursts of red and orange hues, illustrating the dynamism of the human figures and their attire. Each stroke conveys movement and the shimmering reflection of light on water, emphasizing the refreshing and fluid nature of the scene.Lavery's use of impressionistic techniques allows viewers to feel the immediacy and energy of the moment, inviting them into a world where the joy of a communal swim becomes a shared experience through the canvas. The blurred lines and abstract forms not only reflect the transient light but also the fleeting nature of joyful moments, captured forever in this masterful painting.

Sir John Lavery was an Irish painter best known for his portraits and wartime depictions.

John Lavery was born in inner North Belfast, baptised at St Patrick's Church, Belfast and, while still a child, moved to Scotland where he attended Haldane Academy in Glasgow in the 1870s and the Académie Julian in Paris in the early 1880s. He returned to Glasgow and was associated with the Glasgow School. William Burrell, a wealthy ship owner, was a faithful patron of Scottish artists including Joseph Crawhall II, with whom Lavery studied. In 1888 he was commissioned to paint the state visit of Queen Victoria to the Glasgow International Exhibition. This launched his career as a society painter and he moved to London soon after. In 1896, William Burrell commissioned Lavery to paint a portrait of his sister Mary Burrell.
