Te raau rahi (The Big Tree)

Paul Gauguin

Painted

1891

Collection

Art Institute of Chicago

Medium

Oil on jute canvas

A hut and villagers beneath a great tree, painted in 1891, Gauguin's first year in Tahiti. European perspective still lingers, but the red path and green leaves are already flattening into fields of colour. He had come looking for paradise; the village was already a French colony.
