"Baignade" is a notable painting by the French artist André Derain, a leading figure in the Fauvist movement. Created in 1905, this work exemplifies the vibrant color palette and bold brushwork that characterize Fauvism, a style that emerged in the early 20th century as a reaction against the subdued tones and restrained techniques of Impressionism. Derain, along with Henri Matisse, is credited with pioneering this movement, which sought to evoke emotional responses through the use of intense, non-naturalistic colors.

The painting depicts a group of bathers in a landscape, a common subject in Western art that Derain reinterprets through his innovative use of color and form. The figures in "Baignade" are rendered with simplified shapes and are set against a backdrop of vivid, contrasting hues. The water, sky, and foliage are depicted in a spectrum of colors that defy realistic representation, instead aiming to capture the essence and atmosphere of the scene.

"Baignade" was created during a pivotal period in Derain's career, shortly after he spent the summer of 1905 in Collioure, a small town in the South of France, with Matisse. This period was crucial for the development of Fauvism, as both artists experimented with pure, unmodulated colors and expressive brushstrokes. The influence of this time is evident in "Baignade," where Derain's daring use of color and dynamic composition reflect the innovative spirit of the Fauves.

The painting was first exhibited at the Salon d'Automne in Paris in 1905, where it, along with other works by Derain and his contemporaries, caused a sensation and led to the coining of the term "Fauvism" by art critic Louis Vauxcelles. Today, "Baignade" is celebrated as a masterpiece of early 20th-century art and a testament to Derain's role in the avant-garde movements that shaped modern art.
