Femmes faisant les foins 1889

"Femmes faisant les foins" is a painting by Emile Bernard, a French artist associated with the Post-Impressionist movement, created in 1889. The artwork depicts a pastoral scene with three women in blue dresses working in a field of hay. Bernard's signature style is evident in the flat, stylized forms, bold colors, and simplified shapes of the women and landscape. The use of pastel colors, like the yellow hay and the lush green trees, creates a serene and idyllic mood. Bernard's work often explored themes of rural life and the beauty of the natural world, reflecting the broader artistic trends of the late 19th century.
