The Large Tree ☲ Gauguin ☴ Canvas

The Large Tree (1891, Le Grand Arbre) by Paul Gauguin depicts a tropical scene of four women in the shade of a large tree while a fifth woman rests in the doorway of a thatched-roof hut in the background. The words "Te raau rahi" (Tahitian for "The Big Tree") appear in the lower left under the tree. The painting was one of his first created in Tahiti, where he had gone to escape the materialism of European society, abandoning his family and career as a stockbroker. The rich colors and stylized figures were intended to be both symbolic and mysterious. "I obtain symphonies," he wrote, "harmonies that represent nothing real in the absolute sense of the word."

⿴ About Stretched Canvas

Stretched canvas art is created from a giclée print on canvas (instead of paper), and like a traditional painting, the canvas is hand-stretched over a solid wood frame. It can be mounted in a float frame, or displayed on its own. The sides of the canvas are finished in a solid color that complements the artwork, creating a modern masterpiece ready to hang on your wall, without a frame.

⿻ Materials

Giclée printed with eco-solvent inks to resist fading for over 100 years

Canvases are archival-grade, acid-free, satin-finish polycotton fabric

Frames and stretcher bars are solid wood with black backboard and hanging wire installed
