Ia Orana Maria (Hail Mary)
Artist: Paul Gauguin (French, 1848–1903)
Original Dimensions: 44 3/4" x 34 1/2"
Location: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
About Artwork: (1891) "Before embarking on a series of pictures inspired by Polynesian religious beliefs, Gauguin devoted this, his first major Tahitian canvas, to a Christian theme, describing it in a letter of March 1892: "An angel with yellow wings reveals Mary and Jesus, both Tahitians, to two Tahitian women, nudes dressed in pareus, a sort of cotton cloth printed with flowers that can be draped from the waist. Very somber, mountainous background and flowering trees . . . a dark violet path and an emerald green foreground, with bananas on the left. I'm rather happy with it." Gauguin based much of the composition on a photograph he owned of a bas-relief in the Javanese temple of Borobudur." - (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
