Questions about this Print

The size you set is the printed image, the part you see once the canvas is stretched. Beyond that size we add 1.2 in of blank canvas on every side, at no extra cost, so the stretcher bars have something to grip. A 16.1 × 21.7 in print therefore arrives as 18.5 × 24 in. Both numbers are shown in Your Selection above and change with the slider.

Yes. The slider covers every size up to 30.8 × 41.3 in, always in the proportions of the original. If you need something larger, or a size that has to fit a frame you already own, write to us with the title and the dimensions and we will tell you what is possible. Every print is made to order, so there is usually a way.

Because the original is an oil painting on canvas. We match the print medium to the original: oil paintings go on canvas, works on paper go on fine art paper. Our canvas is natural cotton, 400 g/m² Canvas, acid-free and pH neutral, and its woven texture gives the most natural impression of Gauguin's original oil painting. The finish is satin/gloss, which keeps the depth of the dark tones the way varnish does on a painting in a museum; a matte canvas looks dull and pale next to it. More about our print media.

Start with the original, which measures 67.9 × 91.5 cm. A print at or near that size reads the way the artist judged it. Printing smaller is easy; enlarging a small original changes its character. For the wall, above a sofa or a sideboard aim for two thirds to three quarters of the furniture width, and hang the center at eye level. Cut paper to size and tape it to the wall before you order. The original hangs in National Gallery of Art, Washington, USA. Full size guide.

About the Painting

"Fatata te Miti," by French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin and painted in 1892 is an iconic work that showcases Gauguin's distinctive style and fascination for Tahiti's exoticism. Today it resides at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C.

"Fatata te Miti" captures an idyllic, dreamlike scene featuring two Tahitian women relaxing by the water's edge in serene yet dreamlike fashion. Gauguin was well known for using bold colors and simplified forms; these features can be seen here too; women depicted here have naturalistic proportions but some degree of stylization.

Gauguin's painting features an exciting color palette, with warm tones predominating the scene and blue-green water serving to contrast against earthy tones present in figures and the background. Gauguin uses color as an instrument of balance within his composition to achieve harmony.

The lush vegetation in the background highlights the exotic nature of this setting. When combined with women in the foreground and dense foliage in the background, depth and perspective is created, drawing viewers through this painting.

One of the notable elements of "Fatata te Miti" is its sense of tranquility and intimacy, captured through depicting women caught in quiet contemplation gazing out over the water. Gauguin's portrayal of these subjects shows his interest in depicting simpler forms of living which go beyond Western society constraints.

Paul Gauguin was an artist who sought to escape the confines of European civilization and immerse himself in more "primitive" cultures. In 1891, he left France for Tahiti in search of an authentic and natural environment where he believed he could find greater spiritual and natural connections there.

"Fatata te Miti" was completed during his initial trip to Tahiti where he created many of his signature works. While Gauguin's paintings may portray Tahitian life in an idyllic light, their composition often reveals biases from within himself as well.
