La Bretonne - A Glimpse into the Traditional French Costume of the 19th Century
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases "La Bretonne" a remarkable artwork by renowned painter Paul Gauguin. Created around 1886, this chalk on paper masterpiece measures an impressive 63.1x47.9 cm and is currently housed in the esteemed Burrell Collection in Glasgow, Scotland. Gauguin's fascination with capturing cultural diversity is evident in this post-impressionist piece, which depicts a traditional Breton woman from Brittany, France. With her hands confidently placed on her hips, she exudes strength and resilience. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke of chalk brings life to the woman's white headdress and collar against a vivid blue background. The three-quarter portrait offers viewers an intimate glimpse into her attire - a beautifully crafted dress that reflects the rich heritage of Brittany. Through his masterful study of costume and posture, Gauguin transports us back to the late 19th century when such traditional garments were still worn proudly by women across Europe. This artwork serves as both a visual delight and historical documentation of cultural traditions that have since evolved or disappeared entirely. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured this exquisite piece for art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate its beauty and significance. As we admire "La Bretonne" let us immerse ourselves in Gauguin's exploration of identity through artistry while honoring the timeless allure of traditional costumes
