Created in 1892, Paul Gauguin's "Tahitian Landscape" is an oil on canvas painting that exemplifies his Post-Impressionist style, characterized by bold colors and simplified forms. The artwork captures the lush, tropical scenery of Tahiti, reflecting Gauguin's fascination with the island's natural beauty and cultural elements.
