In the context of this artwork, discuss the Influences of the Painting.
It is inspired at least in part by a sculpture by François Girardon, The Bath of the Nymphs (1672), a low lead relief realized for a fountain park of Versailles.: 120  The painting is also influenced by Veronese and Tiepolo, whose work Renoir greatly admired during his time in Venice. It also reflects the influence of the works of Ingres, and particularly the frescoes of Raphael, whose style he had absorbed during his trip to Italy in 1881-82.: 120–121  The latter two artists influenced Renoir's entire way of painting and drawing: he began to paint in a more disciplined and more conventional manner, gave up painting outdoors, and made the female nude – until then only an occasional subject– his main focus. 
Additionally, Renoir greatly admired and was deeply influenced by the decorative Rococo style of the French painter François Boucher.: 120  Disillusioned by the rational and mechanized aesthetics of industrialization, Renoir became fascinated by the Rococo spirit of frivolous sensuality.: 120  The influence of Boucher’s paintings can be observed in the posing of Renoir’s foreground bathers with their legs crossing, mirroring Boucher’s Diana Bathing 1742. This Rococo spirit of eroticism also manifests itself in Renoir’s depiction of his voluptuous bathers. Rococo art inspired him to experiment with what he regarded as a decorative mode of painting in The Great bathers. The painting was exhibited under the title, Les grandes baigneuses; Essai de peinture décorative, indicating his ornamental conception of the work's style.
