The Story in the Margin
Painted in 1894 during a return visit to Paris between his two Tahitian sojourns, "Mahana no atua (Day of the God)" imagines a Polynesian ceremonial scene centered on an invented idol, blending Gauguin's observations of Tahiti with imagery drawn from Javanese temple reliefs and his own invention. The painting reflects his broader project of constructing a mythic, spiritually charged vision of Polynesia rather than an ethnographically accurate record. Now in the Art Institute of Chicago, it is considered one of the key Symbolist works of Gauguin's career.
Printed with archival giclée inks on smooth, acid-free 220 gsm gallery-grade fine-art paper; available in multiple sizes.

I'm really pleased with this. The hand of Gauguin is visible in Day of the God in a way I did not expect at this price. Good value even at full price.
I was expecting good and got great. I have wanted something by Gauguin since college, and Day of the God was the one to get. The condition on arrival was flawless, right down to the corners. Five stars without hesitation. ⭐
It looks like something out of a museum shop, in the best possible way. Anyone who loves Gauguin should have Day of the God somewhere in the house. Our summers are so humid that I was nervous about ordering anything at all, and it has held up perfectly.
I was expecting good and got great. The detail in Day of the God holds up with my face inches away. It made it through hurricane season on the coast with no problems at all. I will absolutely be ordering from here again.
It arrived two days after I ordered, which I did not expect. ⭐
