From the late 1920s to the early 1930s, Erich Heckel went on numerous journeys that took him to various parts of Germany and its neighboring countries. The new landscape impressions are reflected in many of his paintings. Heckel now turned to a moderately real world of imagination, which henceforth would dominate his works. Despite the more realistic beginnings, the bathing scene on the Main island near Würzburg is reminiscent of the famous bathers on the Moritzburg lakes made during the "Brücke" period. Würzburg and its surroundings provided the artist with a variety of sources of inspiration, which led to a large number of works in pencil, watercolor and oil. A place that had left a special impression on the Heckels. When they had to give up their small apartment and studio in Osterholz on the Flensburg Fjord in 1939, Siddi Heckel wrote to Gertraud Rostosky: "Now we are looking for a new accommodation, but with the idea of turning it into a permanent place of residence. We are very much considering the area around Würzburg. The choice of landscape is determined by the fact that it is to be a working area for the painter, and Würzburg has proved to be the most suitable." (quoted from Hermann Gerlinger, Katja Schneider (ed.), Die Maler der Brücke. Inventory catalog Hermann Gerlinger Collection, Halle 2005, p. 237) Unfortunately, these plans could not be realized due to the war. The addressee, Gertraud Rostosky, was a painter who had established the commune "Neue Welt" (New World), which the artist couple also visited, on her estate near Würzburg. In the first half of the 20th century, the estate was a meeting place and summer residence for artists, writers and intellectuals that became known as such throughout the region. The summer months from 1922 to 1927 were the heyday of the "Neue Welt". During her training in Paris, Rostosky had become acquainted with the German circle of artists at the "Café du Dôme", which led to numerous visits to Würzburg. The hospitable house increasingly developed into a "haven of the arts", hosting artists such as Otto Modersohn and Alfred Kubin, as well as the publisher and Simplicissimus editor Korfiz Holm and Ernst Rowohlt.
