Georges Seurat法国, 1859–1891阿尼埃尔的浴场
Bathers at Asnières
关于这幅画
《阿尼埃爾浴場》（法語：Une Baignade, Asnières）是後印象派畫家喬治-皮埃爾·秀拉於1884年在法國完成的布面油畫作品，是其大型作品中的傑作之一。畫作描繪的是寧靜的巴黎郊區、塞納河邊景色。當時秀拉年僅24歲，當年他曾向巴黎沙龍請求展出此畫，但遭到拒絕。這幅畫在畫家死後才出名，現為倫敦國家美術館的重要展品之一。
雖然畫名為“阿尼埃爾”浴場，但實際描繪的地點是在塞纳河畔阿涅尔西邊相鄰的库尔伯瓦。畫中左側的河岸在當地稱爲“Côte des Ajoux”，位于塞納河北岸。對岸就是秀拉繪製《大碗岛的星期天下午》的大碗岛。背景中的橋是阿尼埃爾鐵路橋，而那些工廠則位于克利希。

Georges Seurat当时的生活
完整生平1 May – 20 June 1883
First exhibited work: the portrait of Aman-Jean at the Salon
Seurat's first exhibited work is a Conté crayon drawing of Edmond Aman-Jean shown at the Paris Salon of 1883; from that year until his death he exhibits at the Salon, the Salon des Indépendants, Les XX in Brussels and other shows.
1884
Meeting Paul Signac
At the first exhibition of the Groupe des Artistes Indépendants Seurat meets Paul Signac, a future follower of pointillism; Signac later wrote that “Bathers” is painted in broad flat strokes and looks less bright than the Impressionists' canvases, but that the systematic separation of light, shade and local colour gives it harmony.
15 May – 30 June 1884
The Salon rejects “Bathers”: a debut at the Indépendants
The official Salon rejects “Bathers at Asnières”, and Seurat shows the painting instead at the Groupe des Artistes Indépendants, which runs from 15 May to 30 June 1884 — his debut as a painter.
1886
Nine works, the public's mockery and the critics' defence
At the last Impressionist exhibition Seurat presents nine works; the critics R. Marx and Félix Fénéon write favourable reviews, but the public ridicules the “pictures painted in dots”, and the Swiss critic Émile Hennequin finds them grey and poor in light. The Impressionists are sceptical: when Pissarro says that “La Grande Jatte” is very interesting, Degas replies that he would have noticed, but it is so large; Seurat himself blames the hall for being too dark and cramped to give the picture the necessary distance.
15 May – 15 June 1886
“La Grande Jatte” is first shown at the eighth Impressionist exhibition
“A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte” is shown to the public for the first time at the eighth Impressionist exhibition, held from 15 May to 15 June 1886. The painting will initiate Neo-Impressionism and alter the direction of modern art.
19 September 1886
Fénéon names “Neo-Impressionism” and defends Seurat
Félix Fénéon, who gives the new movement the name “Neo-Impressionism”, defends the artist in an article for the Belgian paper “L'Art Moderne” of 19 September 1886: here, he argues, no virtuosity of brushwork or impasto is needed, but the eye must be quick, sharp and perceptive.
