Oil on canvas from the 20th century school painted during the second half of the said century.
This work, signed by the artist, represents a popular scene of the forgiveness of joy in the Saint-Guenolé district of the commune of Penmarch in Pays Bigouden.
This painting shows a crowd of Bigoudens vacant at their activities on this feast day, in particular near the carousel located a little further on the square.
Religious gathering, the day of forgiveness, the inhabitants put on their most beautiful costumes, signs of social success and wealth. In the 1920s, the arrival of merry-go-rounds and circuses marked the advent of one of the biggest secular festivals in Brittany. But the Day of Pardon is above all a procession during which the sailors thank the Virgin for protecting them.
This painting will appeal to lovers of Gwenn Ha Du and Breton folklore.
