La Orana Maria by Paul Gauguin

In this work, too, the influence of visits to Tahiti is felt. In the picture, the Christian figures of the Virgin Mary and Jesus are transformed into a Tahitian mother and child.

Two other women aside, like angels, worship the mother of the child. “La Orana Maria” was well received by spectators and critics.
