Among the mangoes at Martinique 1887

Paul Gauguin's 1887 painting "Among the Mangoes at Martinique" depicts a group of women and a dog in a tropical landscape. Gauguin, renowned for his bold colors and stylized forms, captures the vibrant atmosphere of the Caribbean island. The scene suggests daily life in Martinique, with the women engaged in tasks such as carrying fruit and tending to their surroundings. Gauguin's use of flat areas of color and simplified forms is characteristic of his Synthetist style, which emphasized decorative patterns and a sense of non-realistic harmony.
