Have you ever heard of the artist P.-A.-J. Darnan-Bouveret? I hadn't either. But I was quite taken with his portrayal of these 19th-century Bretons on a traditional religious exercise --
Les Bretonnes au Pardon, 1887
Monsieur Darnan-Bouveret executed a similar work titled Pardon in Brittany, 1886, which is perhaps more informative, but does not have quite the same magic.
