"Boats at Bont-Aven" is a notable painting by French Post-Impressionist artist Émile Bernard, created in 1888. This work is emblematic of Bernard's transition towards a more symbolic and cloisonnist style, which he developed alongside his contemporaries, including Paul Gauguin and Vincent van Gogh, during his time in Brittany. The painting depicts a serene scene of boats moored at the quayside in Pont-Aven, a small commune in northwestern France that became a significant hub for the avant-garde artists of the time.

The composition of "Boats at Bont-Aven" is marked by its simplified forms, bold outlines, and the use of flat areas of color, characteristics that define the cloisonnism technique. This approach was inspired by stained glass and Japanese ukiyo-e prints, which Bernard and his peers admired for their decorative qualities and expressive potential. The painting captures the tranquil atmosphere of the Breton landscape, while also reflecting Bernard's interest in conveying a deeper, symbolic meaning through his art.

"Boats at Bont-Aven" is considered an important work in Bernard's oeuvre and in the development of Post-Impressionism, illustrating the artist's pivotal role in the movement's evolution away from Impressionism's focus on light and color towards a greater emphasis on structure, form, and meaning. The painting is not only a testament to the innovative spirit of the Pont-Aven School but also a reflection of the broader trends in late 19th-century European art, as artists sought new ways to express the changing world around them.
