Cézanne painted Bathers from the 1870s onwards, including numerous compositions
of male and female bathers, singly or in groups. In such works, Cézanne was reinte-
rpreting a long tradition of paintings with nude figures in the landscape by artists such
as Titian and Poussin. While the subjects of their works were taken from classical
myths, Cézanne did not use direct literary sources. - art-Cezanne.com

Circus Sideshow 1888 - this is Seurat’s first nocturnal painting and his first
depiction of popular entertainment. It represents the parade, or sideshow,
of the Circus Corvi, which had set up near the place de la Nation in Paris in
the spring of 1887. Sideshows were held on the street, for free, to entice
passersby to purchase tickets. The onlookers at the far right are queued
on stairs leading to the box office. - ArtsViewer.com
