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.
Jacquard-woven both sides in soft, durable yarn; insert included.

It came packed so well that opening it took ten minutes. The smallest marks in Day of the God are still visible, which is the entire point… ✨
This has been the easiest online order I have placed in years. The smallest marks in Day of the God are still visible, which is the entire point. There is no pixelation at all, even with my nose close to it. It survived a move from Ohio to Michigan in the back of a pickup. Everything about this was right.
I bought this to fill an awkward corner and it did much more than that. Every line in Day of the God is crisp, even in the busiest areas.
This shop does everything right, from checkout to delivery. The scale works perfectly for Day of the God and nothing feels cramped. It has handled the dry air in Denver better than most things we own. Everything about this was right.
I bought this to fill an awkward corner and it did much more than that. The clarity of Day of the God makes it look like the original was photographed yesterday. The seller replied to my question in under a hour. Everything about this was right.
Thanks for this. Happy the colors landed the way they should, since that is the part we fuss over most.
