BRITTANY
litany
The poem suggests that nothing much has changed in these Breton fishing villages, life is a repeating refrain. Finlay also quotes Caroline Boyle-Taylor on this “The painters felt that the peasants’ lives had not changes since medieval times”. Maurice Denis – the source for the original image – was one of the Symbolists and Les Navis who often documented small communities on canvas especially fishermen. VG+.
