Ia Orana Maria (Ave Maria)

1891
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 825
Antes de começar uma série de pinturas inspirada pelas crenças religiosas da Polinésia, Gauguin escolheu um tema cristão para sua primeira grande obra taitiana, descrita em uma carta de março de 1892: "Um anjo de asas amarelas revela Maria e Jesus, ambos taitianos, a duas taitianas que vestem sua nudez com pareôs, um tipo de tecido de algodão com flores preso ao redor de sua cintura. A pintura tem um fundo montanhoso sombrio e árvores floridas". O título desta obra refere-se às primeiras palavras ditas pelo arcanjo Gabriel à Virgem Maria no momento da Anunciação; "Ia Orana" é a saudação habitual no Taiti.
