"Paysannes Bretonnes" (Breton Peasants) is an 1892 painting by French Post-Impressionist artist Émile Bernard. The artwork is notable for its synthesis of form and its departure from the naturalistic representation of the Impressionist movement, which dominated French painting at the time. Bernard, a pioneer of the Symbolist movement and a close associate of Paul Gauguin, developed a style known as Cloisonnism, characterized by bold outlines and flat areas of color, which is evident in this work.

The painting depicts two Breton women in traditional dress, engaged in a moment of daily life. The composition's simplicity and the figures' stylized forms reflect Bernard's interest in Japanese woodblock prints and the art of the Middle Ages. "Paysannes Bretonnes" is a prime example of Bernard's contribution to the Pont-Aven School, a group of artists centered around the small village of Pont-Aven in Brittany, France, who sought to break away from Impressionist techniques in favor of more symbolic and expressive art.

"Paysannes Bretonnes" is not only significant for its aesthetic qualities but also for its cultural representation. Brittany, with its distinctive customs and traditional attire, provided a rich source of inspiration for artists like Bernard, who were searching for a more profound and spiritual connection to their subject matter, beyond the fleeting effects of light and color that were favored by the Impressionists.

The painting is held in high regard for its historical importance in the development of modern art, as it exemplifies the transition from Impressionism to the early stages of what would become known as modernism. Through works like "Paysannes Bretonnes," Bernard and his contemporaries laid the groundwork for future avant-garde movements, including Expressionism and Cubism. The painting is housed in a prominent museum collection, continuing to be studied and admired for its innovative approach to form and its evocative portrayal of Breton culture.
