More about this artwork

Ernst Schiess's 1915 painting "Bathing Boys on a Wall at a Lake" offers a serene glimpse into childhood and the simple joys of summer. Captured in the soft, impressionistic strokes characteristic of Schiess, the scene depicts two young boys seated on a rugged stone wall, likely cooling off after a swim in the lake. The calmness of the water and the muted tones of blue and grey in the background instill a sense of tranquility, while the vibrant yellow and green brushstrokes on the foliage to the side add a lively contrast, evoking the warmth and brightness of a summer day.The boys, with their backs partially turned, suggest an intimate moment of companionship and reflection. Their posture and engagement with each other, possibly in quiet conversation or shared silence, reflect a natural, unposed moment, beautifully capturing the essence of youth and friendship. Schiess’s skillful use of light and shadow plays upon the contours of their figures, enhancing the three-dimensionality of the painting, while the loose, fluid handling of the paint emphasizes the fleeting, ephemeral moments of childhood.
