About the piece

Gauguin’s 1891 masterpiece 'Ia Orana Maria' reimagines the Christian subject of the Annunciation within the lush, sun-drenched landscape of Tahiti. This iconic work from the artist's first Tahitian period is celebrated for its radical use of vibrant color, bold outlines, and the integration of Polynesian figures into a classical Western composition.
