About the piece

Created in 1897 during Paul Gauguin's second stay in Tahiti, 'Te Rerioa' (The Dream) is a profound example of his Synthetist style. The composition masterfully balances the heavy, grounding presence of the seated figures with the intricate, stylized murals on the walls and a glimpse of the vibrant landscape beyond, creating an immersive sense of stillness and mystery.
