Discover the Pont-Aven school

The Pont-Aven School brings together a posteriori under the same label, different artists who regularly came to paint in Pont-Aven, which was then only a small Breton town of 1,500 inhabitants located between Concarneau and Quimperlé, in the south- east of Finistère in Brittany, at the end of the 19th century.

The best-known artists were Paul Gauguin (arrived in 1886), Émile Bernard, Paul-Émile Colin, Paul Sérusier, Charles Filiger, Maxime Maufra, Henry Moret, Ernest de Chamaillard, Louis Roy. The most varied styles of painting, from the synthetism of Félix Jobbé-Duval to the post-impressionism of Maxime Maufra, were practiced.
