Chinese Peonies and Mandolin | Paul Gauguin Card

Nature morte avec pivoines de chine et mandoline (1885) by Paul Gauguin, translated to Still Life with Chinese Peonies and Mandolin, showcases the artist's signature exploration of vibrant colour and composition. This still life painting features a harmonious arrangement of Chinese peonies, alongside a mandolin, set against a rich, textured background. The delicate contrast between the vivid pink and white flowers and the musical instrument exemplifies Gauguin’s talent for blending natural beauty with symbolic meaning. Through his use of bold colours and dynamic forms, Gauguin emphasises the fleeting nature of life, a theme he often explored in his still lifes.
