"The Pardon in Brittany" is an oil painting by French artist Pascal-Adolphe-Jean Dagnan-Bouveret, completed in 1886. It is one of the most recognized works of Dagnan-Bouveret, who was noted for his realistic depictions of Breton life and customs. The painting measures 130.2 x 180.3 cm and is part of the collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.

The artwork captures a scene from a "pardon," which is a traditional Breton festival that combines religious devotion with social gathering. These festivals are specific to the region of Brittany in France and typically involve a procession, a mass, and often a fair. In "The Pardon in Brittany," Dagnan-Bouveret portrays a group of Breton women in prayer, their faces reflecting a range of emotions from piety to contemplation. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the rendering of the women's traditional costumes, the Breton lace headdresses, and the somber yet serene atmosphere of the scene.

Dagnan-Bouveret was associated with the Naturalist movement, and his work often reflects an interest in ethnographic accuracy and a deep empathy for his subjects. "The Pardon in Brittany" is a prime example of his skill in combining the precision of Naturalism with the emotional depth of his subjects. The painting is not only a visual record of regional customs but also a poignant representation of communal faith and identity.

The work has been praised for its technical excellence and its sensitive portrayal of a unique cultural event. It has been exhibited in various art institutions and has contributed significantly to the understanding of regional French customs and the broader Naturalist movement in art during the late 19th century.
