Gustave Caillebotte (French, 1848–
1894). Bathers. 1878. Photo credit:
Erich Lessing / Art Resource, NY.
A lawyer and an engineer by
profession, Caillebotte was both an
Impressionist and a Realist in style. He
moved easily from countryside to city
in his subject matter, experimenting
with the “plunging perspectives” of
urban rooftops. Here, though, he
captures that perfect moment of
stillness before a dive, suspended,
like the last long day of summer.
With arms elevated and adducted,
the swimmer prepares to break the
water’s surface—neck and lumbar
spine flexed, trunk and neck muscles
braced, center of mass slowly moving
forward.
