The Wrestlers is a 1905 oil painting by George Luks held at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston in Massachusetts, United States.

[3] He painted it in order to shock members of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts whom he called "pink-and-white idiots".

[6] In a 1908 diary entry, painter John French Sloan writes that The Wrestlers is among the best paintings he ever encountered.

[8] In 1996, Allen Guttmann compared Luks' The Wrestlers to Thomas Eakins' Wrestlers and Max Slevogt's Wrestling School, writing that all three paintings depict pairs of nude wrestling men lying on the ground in grappling holds.

[9] In the 2009 Dictionary of Modern and Contemporary Art, Ian Chilvers and John Glaves-Smith write that The Wrestlers emulates the "bravura painterly technique of artists such as Manet".
