"Laundresses Bretonnes" (in French: "Les lavandières bretonnes") is an 1888 painting by French Post-Impressionist artist Émile Bernard. The artwork is notable for its depiction of Breton women engaged in the traditional task of washing clothes, a common theme that reflects the regional culture and the daily life of the time. Bernard, who was a pioneer of the cloisonnist style, characterized by bold outlines and flat areas of color, created this piece during a period when he was closely associated with other avant-garde artists such as Paul Gauguin and Vincent van Gogh.

The painting is a striking example of Bernard's innovative approach to form and color, which broke away from the naturalistic representation of the Impressionists. Instead, "Laundresses Bretonnes" showcases a stylized interpretation of the figures and landscape, with an emphasis on the patterns and rhythms of the composition. The laundresses are depicted with a sense of dignity and solemnity, their forms simplified and the colors used to convey emotion and symbolic meaning rather than to replicate reality.

"Laundresses Bretonnes" is often discussed in the context of the Pont-Aven School, a group of artists centered around the small Breton village of Pont-Aven, where Bernard spent time and developed his artistic style. The painting reflects the influence of the traditional Breton culture, as well as the innovative artistic ideas that were circulating among the group, which included a focus on symbolism and the use of pure color.

The work is held in high regard for its contribution to the development of modern art at the end of the 19th century. It is frequently studied for its role in the evolution of the cloisonnist technique and its impact on the trajectory of Post-Impressionism. "Laundresses Bretonnes" remains an important work in Émile Bernard's oeuvre and continues to be exhibited in art museums, where it offers viewers insight into the artist's unique vision and the cultural context of Brittany at the time.
