Question 1

When was this work made, and what is its background?

Accepted Answer

The museum dates this work to 1891. Ia Orana Maria (Hail Mary) is by Paul Gauguin; our subject and movement tags come from Landscape, Religious painting and Post-impressionism, Pont-Aven School, Symbolism, Les Nabis. We do not publish composition or brushwork interpretations, which would require viewing the work.

Accepted Answer

Held by Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY. The museum lists its dimensions as 44 3/4 x 34 1/2 in. (113.7 x 87.6 cm). Both from The Met's public collection record.

Accepted Answer

Click the artist name above to return to the globe centred on Paul Gauguin. We place works by the city where the artist lived or worked (Paris here) — this is not a creation-place record; the dataset has no such field. The bottom-left roam jumps to other artists in the same city. Nearby radio stations come from Radio Browser; use “Listen to this city's radio” on this page.
