Galerie Mont The white horse – Paul Gauguin^ Gauguin

Gauguin’s post-impressionist work The White Horse is a vibrant ode to the raw, untamed beauty of nature. A majestic, immaculate horse is the undeniable protagonist of this piece, its power reflected in the striking contrast between its brilliant coat and the lush tropical landscape that surrounds it. Here, Gauguin makes bold use of his palette, combining vibrant shades of green, blue and red to express the exuberance of life in Tahiti.

In a way, the animal seems to merge with the landscape, expressing the symbiotic union of man and nature so dear to the artist. In this painting, Gauguin’s distinctive style, characterised by the use of simplified forms and pure colours, sublimates a picturesque landscape that is deeply attached to the very essence of Polynesian existence. The white horse, with its liveliness and sensitivity, bears witness to Gauguin’s fascination with the richness of Tahiti’s natural environment.
