"Spring in Pont-Aven" is an oil painting by the American artist William Lamb Picknell (1853–1897), created in 1881. The artwork exemplifies Picknell's skill in landscape painting and reflects the influence of the French plein-air tradition on his work. The painting depicts a serene spring scene in the small Breton town of Pont-Aven, located in northwestern France, which became a famous artists' colony in the late 19th century.

Measuring 56.5 x 92 cm (22 1/4 x 36 1/4 in.), the painting is characterized by its luminous palette, attention to naturalistic detail, and the use of light to convey the freshness of the spring season. Picknell's technique shows the impact of his training under Jean-Léon Gérôme, a prominent French painter, and his association with the Barbizon school, known for its realistic portrayal of rural landscapes.

"Spring in Pont-Aven" captures the essence of the picturesque village, which attracted numerous artists including Paul Gauguin and Emile Bernard, who would later form the Pont-Aven School. The painting is a testament to the international exchange of artistic ideas in the late 19th century and the allure of the Breton landscape for American and European artists alike.

William Lamb Picknell was an important figure in the expatriate artist community in France during his time, and his works were well-received by critics and the public. "Spring in Pont-Aven" is considered one of his notable contributions to the landscape genre, showcasing his ability to blend traditional academic training with the emerging impressionist sensibilities of the era.

The painting is held in various art collections and has been exhibited in several art institutions, contributing to the understanding of the transatlantic connections in the art world of the 19th century. It continues to be studied for its artistic merit and as a representation of the idyllic Breton countryside that inspired a generation of painters.
