Original Description
Emile Bernard's Le Petit Déjeuner (The Breakfast) is a captivating Post-Impressionist masterpiece that radiates serenity and domestic warmth. Painted in 1888 during Bernard's pivotal collaboration with Paul Gauguin in Pont-Aven, Brittany, this intimate interior scene showcases the artist's pioneering Synthetist style—flattened forms, bold contours, and vibrant color fields that reject naturalistic perspective. The composition centers on a woman arranging breakfast, her pensive demeanor mirrored by the carefully orchestrated still-life elements. Bernard's radical simplification of forms and emotional use of color (notice the rhythmic interplay of blues, yellows, and whites) directly influenced Gauguin's cloisonnism and contributed to the Symbolist movement's development. Historically significant as a bridge between Impressionism and modern abstraction, this work embodies the late 19th-century artistic rebellion against photographic realism while retaining profound humanity.
For contemporary interiors, Le Petit Déjeuner makes an exceptional statement piece in breakfast nooks or executive dining areas. Its 65×81cm dimensions suit medium-sized walls flanked by warm wood paneling or matte taupe walls that echo the painting's earthy undertones. Frame it in a slender gilt composite frame (3-4cm width) to complement the artwork's golden accents without overpowering. Position the artwork at 145-150cm from the floor in north-facing rooms where its cool palette counters weak natural light. For cohesive styling, pair with curved-leg oak furniture and matte ceramic tableware repeating the composition's organic forms. In offices, it creates psychologically calming focal points—hang opposite seating areas in reception zones, slightly tilted downward at 10° for optimal viewing. The painting's harmonic blues and yellows integrate beautifully with Farrow & Ball's "Lulworth Blue" or "String" wall colors.
