About the piece
Painted in 1889 during his stay in Brittany, Paul Gauguin’s 'La Belle Angèle' is a masterpiece of Cloisonnism. The portrait of Angèle Satre is famously encased in a circular frame—a nod to Japanese woodblock prints—and contrasted against a rich blue floral background and a Peruvian-style ceramic figure, reflecting the artist's synthesis of Western and non-Western influences.
