Paul Gauguin's "The Sorcerer of Hiva Oa" (1902) is a Symbolist painting depicting a Marquesan man wearing a red cape in a tropical landscape. Gauguin, known for his exploration of Polynesian culture, uses vivid colors and flat planes to depict the figure's imposing presence. The mysterious atmosphere, enhanced by the presence of a dog, evokes a sense of spirituality and the power of the supernatural.
