{"product_id":"paul-gauguin-self-portrait-with-halo-and-snake-fine-art-print","title":"Paul Gauguin — Self-Portrait with Halo and Snake | Fine Art Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eGauguin paints himself cut off at the shoulders against a flat red upper ground and a golden-yellow lower one. A thin yellow halo floats above his dark hair, and a branch of green and red apples hangs beside his face. In the foreground curving blue-green stems with pale yellow leaves sweep across the panel, and one raised hand holds a small dark snake between its fingers. The date and the monogram PGo are painted at the lower left edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGauguin painted the panel in late 1889 on the upper part of a cupboard door in the dining room of Marie Henry's inn at Le Pouldu in Brittany, as the pendant to his portrait of the Dutch painter Meijer de Haan. Left with Marie Henry in lieu of rent, it was sold in 1919 to the Galerie Barbazanges in Paris. Chester Dale bought it in 1928 and gave it to the National Gallery of Art in 1963.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe original: oil on wood, 1889, National Gallery of Art, Washington.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaul Gauguin (1848–1903) gave up a career as a Paris stockbroker to paint, and in 1885 left his wife and five children to pursue it. He led the Pont-Aven painters toward flat colour and simplified form, and worked beside Van Gogh in Arles in 1888. From 1891 he lived mostly in Tahiti and, from 1901, the Marquesas, where Polynesian figures, colour and myth became his subject. There he took girls of thirteen and fourteen as his 'wives': by his own account Teha'amana, whose face recurs in the Tahitian paintings of 1891–93, was thirteen. His synthetist style shaped the Nabis, Fauvism and Expressionism; in recent decades historians and museums have reassessed him for this sexual exploitation of Polynesian girls and for the colonial fantasy of Tahiti his work helped build. His paintings are held by the Musée d'Orsay, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrinted as a museum-grade giclée on Hahnemühle fine art paper using 12-ink archival pigment printing.
