Tommies Bathing by John Singer Sargent Fine Art Print

Tommies Bathing by John Singer Sargent Fine Art Print

In John Singer Sargent's evocative 1918 watercolor "Tommies Bathing," the tranquil aftermath of battle is captured with a masterful blend of realism and impressionistic touch. Housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece portrays British soldiers—known colloquially as "Tommies"—immersed in a rare moment of respite during World War I.

Set along the banks of the Somme, the scene reveals soldiers lounging amidst tall grasses, their bodies dappled with sunlight filtered through the foliage. Sargent's use of a high, voyeuristic viewpoint invites viewers to witness the intimate and unguarded moments of these men, as they bathe, dry off, and rest. The meticulous rendering of shadows cast by the grass across the soldiers' forms highlights Sargent's technical prowess. 

This watercolor, gifted to the museum by Sargent’s sister, Mrs. Francis Ormond, in 1950, stands as a poignant tribute to the fleeting moments of peace found amidst the horrors of war. The delicate interplay of light and shadow, combined with the informal composition, underscores the profound humanity and vulnerability of the soldiers, offering a tender glimpse into their world away from the front lines.

Fine art paper for bold statements. Enhanced matte paper you'll struggle to keep your hands off. Losing yourself in the spectacular colors of this archival grade print. So rich, potent and tactile it hums with life.
Speaking of color... ditch those faded reproductions and printable posters. I worship vibrancy and this print's fueled by colors that sing. Rendered with precision and sophistication using water-based inks that endure. Proving once again that nature and nerds make the prettiest pairs.
Art with attitude, minus the guilt trip. Vegan, warm-toned paper that looks lush for decades. Commanding attention 24/7.
Best friends with forests. Printing with FSC® certified paper’s a badge of honor. And the math behind the win is simple: responsible forest management = art that won’t cost the earth.
Patience is... boring. I print locally in the USA, EU, UK and AUS. Meaning your new treasure arrives in a flash, not a sigh.
