ART and PHOTOGRAPHY

inspired by Brittany

Many artists have been captivated by Brittany's varied and often dramatic scenery - Gauguin and Renoir both found inspiration here - and today there are many fine painters working in the area. Photographers, too, find this ancient and beautiful land a source of inspiration.

Below are just a small selection of the work of a variety of artists and photographers.
