The Large Tree

Paul Gauguin painted ‘The Large Tree’ in 1891. It’s an oil on canvas. Now in the Cleveland Museum of Art.

The canvas shows a large tree dominating the composition. Gauguin used bold colors and broad brushstrokes.

Gauguin moved to Tahiti in 1891, the same year he painted this work. His time there influenced his palette and themes.

He trained as a stockbroker before becoming a full-time painter. His art was self-taught, shaped by associations with Impressionists.
