Description
"Vision After the Sermon" is one of Paul Gauguin's most iconic works, painted in 1888 during his stay in Brittany. This oil on canvas, measuring 28 cm by 36 cm, is currently housed at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris.
The artwork depicts a religious scene after the sermon, but it is far from the traditional representation. In the foreground, Breton women in traditional costumes fervently pray. See more
However, the main subject of the painting is a mystical vision that hovers above the ground. It is a symbolic representation of the women's faith that emerged during their sermon.
The color palette is dominated by earthy tones with touches of green and red. Gauguin used bold outlines and simplification of forms to create a mystical and spiritual atmosphere.
"Vision After the Sermon" is considered a pioneering example of Gauguin's symbolist art and synthetism. The artwork transcends immediate reality to explore the inner world of beliefs and faith. It has had a profound influence on modern art and continues to inspire artists worldwide.
