A Farm in Brittany was created by Paul Gauguin in 1894. This part of France had inspired the artist for a number of years and he found it to be culturally different to the rest of the country.
This simple but charming artwork captures several small houses within a village setting. Behind them is a sprawling landscape with a bright sky in the far distance. Nearest to us are several trees and bushes which help to add an extra layer to the perspective of this piece. Some may not initially see this as typical of Gauguin in terms of style, but the content and color scheme is entirely typical. He would use a more traditional approach within A Farm in Brittany, where as later on emotion would start to play a more important role in how he put these artworks together. See the houses, for example, as they are carefully drawn and pretty faithful to the original look that the artist would have seen at the time. Gauguin here pays attention to fine details, such as the angles of the chimneys and windows.
