From The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York:
Renoir spent part of the summer of 1881 at the country home of his patron Paul Berard in the small Normandy village of Wargemont. During his stay, Renoir painted two similar still lifes in contrasting color harmonies, showing the family’s faïence jardinière piled high with peaches. Berard purchased the present work for himself; the other version was featured in the seventh Impressionist exhibition the following year.

Cézanne painted Bathers from the 1870s onwards, including numerous
compositions of male and female bathers, singly or in groups. Late in life,
he painted three large-scale female bather groups. In such works, Cézanne
was reinterpreting a long tradition of paintings with nude figures in the
landscape by artists such as Titian and Poussin. - art-Cezanne.com

(also known as Judith I) is an oil painting by Gustav Klimt created in 1901. It

When Klimt tackles the biblical theme of Judith, the historical course of art has
already codified its main interpretation and preferential raffiguration... - art-Klimt.com
