Jules Adolphe Aimé Louis Breton (French pronunciation: [ʒyl adɔlf ɛme lwi bʁətɔ̃]; 1 May 1827 – 5 July 1906) was a 19th-century French naturalist painter. His paintings are heavily influenced by the French countryside and his absorption of traditional methods of painting helped make him one of the primary transmitters of the beauty and idyllic vision of rural existence.
