Anzacs Bathing is a 1916 painting by Australian artist George Washington Lambert.

In this role, Lambert travelled to Palestine in 1918 and in 1919, after the war's end, to Gallipoli in Turkey.

[2] Three young men frolic in the foaming blue sea, in a break from the brutalities of battle; the light gilds and defines, in scrupulous detail, the musculature of the soldiers’ bodiesThe work references Michelangelo's Battle of Cascina with its image of soldiers bathing and the central figure takes its form from Michelangelo's statue of the Dying Slave.

[1] The painting has been described as an "heroic image of the Anzacs at an early stage in the development of the legend of the brave men of the Australian and New Zealand forces who fought at Gallipoli".

The Gallipoli Campaign was fought in the Dardanelles, not far from ancient Troy and in depicting the soldiers naked, Lambert alludes to the heroes and legends of Greek myth.
