Gauguin loss of virginity

Description:Other versions Licensing[ edit ] This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. This was Gauguin's last major work produced before he left for Tahiti at the beginning of April Behind her, a fox, the symbol of lust in Hindu mythology, can be seen. The obvious precedent for the reclining female nude was Manet's Olympia, which had finally been bought by the French state. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details. The work is a deliberate attempt at a symbolist painting, produced to appeal to the literary figures who were Gauguin's main supporters at this time.
