Bathers

Jakopič produced several versions of his Bathers (Kopalke) during the first two years of WWI, perhaps with less success than his first attempt from 1905. He recreated popular motifs due to demand, with some of them reaching over 20 different versions. This painting in a considerably smaller format is a later work, most likely produced upon the express desire of friend and collector Dr. Fran Virant. Jakopič completely changed the color scheme. The blue, yellow, and pink palette with plenty of white does not provide the same emphatic experience as the work from 1905, but its expression is completely dominated by the painting technique, which, although fragmented, models the female form in the foreground with far greater ambition. For this work especially there are several late studies found in Jakopič’s estate, dated to just before this work was produced. In the last decade of his life, Jakopič worked almost exclusively in his studio. Alongside mostly floral still-lifes, he also revisited motifs from his youth, producing late works with common stylistic characteristics, such as his Resting Reapers (Počivajoči Kosci) from the Ljubljana City Museum, which he reproduced in the mid-1930s in large format.
