Sobre a pintura
A Banheira é uma obra de arte em pastel de Edgar Degas (1834–1917), pintada em 1886 e instalada no Museu de Orsay em Paris. Uma obra-prima de Degas, que combina habilmente naturezas-mortas de artigos de toalete com uma perspectiva distorcida e vista panorâmica, fazem deste pastel um dos mais ousados e realizados dos trabalhos de Degas.

Entretanto, na vida de Edgar Degas

The eighth exhibition: pastel nudes, and the end of the group
At the last Impressionist exhibition Degas showed a suite of pastel nudes, which drew more critical writing than anything else in his lifetime, mostly laudatory. The group broke up, partly through rancour over the inclusion of non-Impressionists such as Forain and Raffaëlli.

Into the shadows: he stops exhibiting
After 1886 Degas stopped exhibiting and sold his pictures at high prices through a narrow circle of agents. By the end of the decade he had in effect fulfilled his wish to be “famous and unknown”, withdrawing among close friends.
late 1880s
A passion for photography
Degas photographed his friends, often by lamplight, as in the double portrait of Renoir and Mallarmé. Photographs of dancers and nudes served as references for his drawings and paintings.
