This canvas was created by Gogen in the interval between the two travels to Tahiti, so there is nothing strange about the bizarre combination of French and Polynesian traditions that distinguishes this picture.
Her artistic images and the entire context reproduce Polynesian scenery, but the composition is based on the principles of classical symmetry, characteristic of French masters.
Moreover, it sounds a clear echo of “The Apotheosis of Homer” Engr. The only difference is that the ancient Greeks were replaced here by the Polynesians.
