Are You Jealous? 1892

"Are You Jealous?" is an oil painting by Paul Gauguin, created in 1892. The painting depicts two Tahitian women, one sitting and the other reclining, in a lush, tropical landscape. Gauguin, who spent much of the late 19th century in Tahiti, was inspired by the island's culture and people, which he felt offered a simpler and more authentic way of life than that of Europe. This painting embodies Gauguin's characteristic style, featuring bold colors, flattened forms, and a decorative, almost patterned, quality. This painting is a well-known example of Gauguin's Tahitian period and his exploration of the primitive and the exotic.
