"Seaweed Gatherers" is an oil painting by French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin, created during his first stay in Brittany in 1889. The painting is notable for its depiction of the harsh and laborious life of Breton peasants, a theme that Gauguin explored in several of his works. Measuring 28 3/4 x 36 1/4 inches (73 x 92 cm), the artwork is part of a series that reflects the artist's fascination with the simplicity and rusticity of Breton life, as well as his interest in synthesizing a personal style that incorporated elements of the avant-garde movements of the time, including Impressionism, Symbolism, and Cloisonnism.

In "Seaweed Gatherers," Gauguin captures the toil of women collecting seaweed, a common activity in the coastal regions of Brittany that was used for various purposes, including as fertilizer for poor soil. The painting is characterized by its bold use of color, strong outlines, and flat areas of paint, which demonstrate Gauguin's departure from the naturalistic representation of his earlier works and his movement towards a more symbolic and abstracted form of expression. The composition's starkness and the figures' solemn expressions convey the arduous nature of their work and reflect Gauguin's empathy for their plight, as well as his broader interest in the lives of marginalized and indigenous peoples.

"Seaweed Gatherers" is held in a private collection and has been exhibited in various art institutions around the world. It continues to be studied for its contribution to the development of modern art and for its insight into the cultural and social landscape of 19th-century Brittany. The painting is a testament to Gauguin's evolving artistic philosophy and his pursuit of a style that would capture the essence of his subjects beyond their mere physical appearance.
