About the piece
Painted around 1890, this work by Paul Gauguin showcases his signature Post-Impressionist style, characterized by flat planes of saturated color and symbolic figures. The composition reimagines the theme of 'Paradise Lost' within a vibrant, simplified landscape, reflecting the artist's search for a more primitive and meaningful visual language.
