This woodblock print, *Mahana Atua (Day of the Gods)*, is a work by Paul Gauguin, created in 1894. The piece depicts Tahitian figures in a landscape, and Gauguin's signature is visible in the lower right corner. Gauguin was deeply interested in Tahitian culture and often incorporated its themes into his art. The bold, simplified lines and dark tones of the print are characteristic of Gauguin's style, which was influenced by the art of the indigenous peoples of the South Pacific.
