A Brunaille is a painting executed entirely or primarily in shades of brown. Such a painting is described as having been painted "en brunaille".
Brunaille has its roots in 12th century stained glass made for Cistercian monasteries which in 1134 prohibited the use of color in their art. However, it was only in the early 17th century that the French term “brunaille” was coined to describe pictures painted in shades of brown.
