"Bretonnes dans la forêt" (Breton Women in the Forest) is an 1891 painting by French artist Paul Sérusier, a post-impressionist painter and a pioneer of abstract art who was closely associated with the Nabis, a group of avant-garde artists. The painting is a quintessential example of the Nabis' style, which sought to move away from the naturalistic depictions of Impressionism and towards a more symbolic representation of subjects.

The artwork features a scene of Breton women, characterized by their traditional clothing, within the dense and mystical landscape of a forest in Brittany, a region in France that was a source of inspiration for many artists at the time due to its perceived purity and connection to a rural past. The painting is notable for its stylized approach to form and color, which emphasizes flat areas of bold, unmodulated color and simplified shapes, reflecting Sérusier's interest in creating a harmonious composition free from the constraints of realistic representation.

Sérusier painted "Bretonnes dans la forêt" after his pivotal encounter with Paul Gauguin in Pont-Aven in 1888, which greatly influenced his artistic direction. Gauguin's advice to Sérusier to paint with pure color and from the imagination rather than from nature led to the creation of Sérusier's famous work "Le Talisman," which became a touchstone for the Nabis movement. "Bretonnes dans la forêt" continues in this vein, embodying the Nabis' ideals of using color and form to express emotion and spiritual truths.

The painting is held in high regard for its contribution to the development of modern art and is often discussed in the context of the evolution of abstract painting. It is part of a larger body of work by Sérusier that explores the mystical and symbolic potential of the Breton landscape and its inhabitants, serving as a testament to the artist's innovative approach to painting and his influence on subsequent generations of artists.
