The Large Tree 1891

"The Large Tree" (1891) by Paul Gauguin is a depiction of Tahitian life during the artist's time living on the island. The painting features a large tree in the foreground, with several Tahitian women gathered beneath it. The background features a traditional Tahitian hut, surrounded by lush foliage, showcasing Gauguin's interest in the vibrant colors and simple beauty of Tahitian life. The artwork is a prime example of Gauguin's Symbolist style, using bold colors and simplified forms to evoke a sense of tranquility and exoticism.
