Breton Women in the Meadow 1888

"Breton Women in the Meadow" is an 1888 painting by Émile Bernard. It depicts a scene of women in traditional Breton clothing gathered in a meadow. The vibrant, flat colors and stylized figures are characteristic of Bernard's early work, which was influenced by Post-Impressionism and the work of Paul Gauguin. The painting, now housed in the Musée d'Orsay, captures the essence of a traditional rural scene through the artist's unique perspective, highlighting the distinct costumes and the overall simplicity of the setting.
