Nava Nave Moe (Sacred Spring or Sweet Dreams)
by GAUGUIN, Paul, Oil on canvas, 73 x 98 cm
Returning to Paris from Tahiti Gauguin continued to depicts subjects from the South Seas, he painted his reminiscences of Tahiti.
In this painting everything speaks of eternity: the majestic poses of the heroines, the ancient idols, Eve and the apple, the Virgin Mary, and the simple Tahitian women all come together in a single space.
