John Lavery Art Print | The Bathing Hour, Venice 1912 | National Gallery of Ireland

Venice, September 1912. Lavery never travelled without his paints, and on this trip he found his subject on the Lido — a strip of sand crowded with parasols, paddling children, and his wife Lady Hazel Lavery shielding herself from the midday sun. Thomas Mann was writing Death in Venice on these same shores that year. Lavery was painting its opposite: light, leisure, and a family at the beach.

This is one of only four paintings Lavery made of the Lido, and the most fully realised. It now hangs in the National Gallery of Ireland, added to the national collection after taking pride of place in Lavery. On Location. — proof, if any were needed, of its standing among his finest work.
