Coastal Landscape from Martinique 1887

Paul Gauguin's "Coastal Landscape from Martinique" (1887) is a vibrant depiction of the tropical landscape of Martinique. The painting, now housed in the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen, showcases Gauguin's signature Synthetist style. The artwork features bold colors, flat planes, and simplified forms, capturing the essence of the Caribbean island. The lush foliage, the cerulean sea, and the figures on the shore convey a sense of tranquility and the beauty of nature, characteristic of Gauguin's fascination with the exotic.
