"Breton Women in the Shade" is an 1892 painting by French Post-Impressionist artist Émile Bernard, notable for its synthesis of form and its pioneering role in the development of the Cloisonnism style. The painting depicts a group of Breton women, characterized by their regional dress, gathered under the shade of trees in a serene, pastoral setting. Bernard's work is distinguished by its bold outlines and flat areas of color, which reflect the influence of Japanese woodblock prints and medieval stained glass artistry, both of which informed the Cloisonnism technique.

Created during a period when Bernard was in close contact with other avant-garde artists like Paul Gauguin and Vincent van Gogh, "Breton Women in the Shade" exemplifies the artist's departure from Impressionism towards a more symbolic and abstracted representation of reality. This painting is part of a series of works Bernard produced while in Brittany, a region of France that became a center for experimental art in the late 19th century due to its distinctive culture and landscape, which inspired many artists of the time.

The artwork is significant for its contribution to the Post-Impressionist movement and its influence on the Nabis, a group of young French artists who embraced the use of pure color and simplified forms. "Breton Women in the Shade" is often discussed in the context of the Pont-Aven School, a group of artists associated with the village of Pont-Aven in Brittany, where Bernard and Gauguin developed their innovative artistic approaches.

Held in high regard for its aesthetic and historical importance, "Breton Women in the Shade" is a testament to Bernard's role in the evolution of modern art at the turn of the 20th century. The painting is housed in a prominent art collection and continues to be studied and admired for its distinctive style and the insight it provides into the artistic movements of its time.
