EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time, showcasing Pascal Adolphe Jean Dagnan-Bouveret's "Study for Breton Women at a Pardon" from 1887. The oil on panel painting depicts a group of Breton women gathered at a religious event known as a pardon. Standing and seated outdoors, these rural French women are dressed in traditional attire, adorned with headdresses and hats that reflect their cultural heritage. The scene exudes tranquility as the women engage in quiet contemplation and reading. Their presence is juxtaposed against the backdrop of a rustic church spire rising above them, symbolizing their deep-rooted Catholic faith. In the distance, we catch glimpses of fields and countryside, further emphasizing the rural setting. Dagnan-Bouveret's attention to detail is evident in this study; each figure is meticulously rendered with precision and realism. The artist beautifully captures not only the physical appearance but also the essence of these Breton peasants. Part of the Corcoran Collection housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this artwork showcases Dagnan-Bouveret's mastery as an observer and interpreter of everyday life. It serves as both an homage to Brittany's rich cultural heritage and an exploration into themes such as religion, tradition, and femininity. This print offers viewers an opportunity to immerse themselves in this historical moment while appreciating Dagnan-Bouveret's artistic brilliance.
