'Landscape with Peacocks (Death)' is a distinct work that encapsulates the essence of Post-impressionism. Created in 1892 by the renowned Paul Gauguin, the painting utilises the medium of oil on canvas to depict a vibrant tropical landscape populated with luscious flora, indigenous figures and a duo of richly-coloured peacocks. The painting's vivid color palette and expressive form departs from the impressionist concern for capturing light and instead, uses color in a symbolic and subjective manner. Housed at the Pushkin Museum in Moscow, the painting offers a captivating glimpse into Gauguin's unique artistic style.
