圣诞夜,牛的祝福,1902-1903-保罗·高更

-Eugène Henri Paul Gauguin (1848-1903) was a 法国艺术家 Post-Impressionist artist.
This enigmatic view of a winter night in Brittany demonstrates Gauguin’s ability to combine different sources of inspiration into one composition. The steeple and snow-covered cottages depict sites in Pont-Aven, yet the women wear the dark caps of another village, called Le Pouldu. The oxen are based on Egyptian tomb sculpture, while the figures in the shrine derive from photographs Gauguin owned of a frieze in Java.
