Ia Orana Maria by Gauguin in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, May 2009
Artist: Paul Gauguin (French, Paris 1848–1903 Atuona, Hiva Oa, Marquesas Islands)
Title: Ia Orana Maria (Hail Mary)
Date: 1891
Medium: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 44 3/4 x 34 1/2 in. (113.7 x 87.6 cm)
Classification: Paintings
Credit Line: Bequest of Sam A. Lewisohn, 1951
Accession Number: 51.112.2
Gallery Label:
Before embarking on a series of pictures inspired by Polynesian religious beliefs, Gauguin devoted this, his first major Tahitian canvas, to a Christian theme, describing it in a letter of March 1892: "An angel with yellow wings reveals Mary and Jesus, both Tahitians, to two Tahitian women, nudes dressed in pareus, a sort of cotton cloth printed with flowers that can be draped from the waist. Very somber, mountainous background and flowering trees . . . a dark violet path and an emerald green foreground, with bananas on the left. I'm rather happy with it." Gauguin based much of the composition on a photograph he owned of a bas-relief in the Javanese temple of Borobudur.
