"The Swineherd, Brittany" is an oil painting by French post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin, created in 1888 during his first stay in Brittany, a region in the northwest of France that inspired many of his works. The painting measures 73.6 cm × 92.7 cm (29 in × 36.5 in) and is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA).

This artwork depicts a rural scene in Pont-Aven, a small village in Brittany where Gauguin spent considerable time. The painting shows a young swineherd watching over his grazing pigs in a lush, green landscape. The composition is characterized by bold colors, simplified forms, and a flattened perspective, elements that are typical of Gauguin's style during this period. The use of cloisonnism, a technique marked by dark contours separating color areas, is evident and reflects the influence of stained glass and Japanese prints on Gauguin's work.

"The Swineherd, Brittany" is notable for its synthesis of traditional Breton life with the avant-garde aesthetics of the time. Gauguin's interest in depicting the lives of ordinary people, along with his innovative approach to color and form, make this painting an important example of his early exploration into the style that would later define his contribution to modern art. The work captures the essence of Gauguin's experiences in Brittany, where he sought to escape the modernity of Paris and immerse himself in what he considered a more authentic and primitive way of life.

This painting is significant in the context of Gauguin's artistic evolution, as it marks a departure from Impressionism and a move towards the Symbolist movement, which emphasized the expression of emotional experience over the representation of the external world. "The Swineherd, Brittany" is often discussed in studies of Gauguin's oeuvre as an illustration of his transition towards the bold experimentation with color and form that would later dominate his Tahitian period.
