Gauguin's most eloquent painting
id: 10045667

Being in despair and depression, he was going to commit suicide, but before that he decided to paint a picture with an encrypted meaning. This work is called " Where did we come from? Who are we? Where are we going?", and in it the artist depicted as many as 15 characters, namely:

1. A sleeping child is the soul of a person before its incarnation on earth.
2. The dog — the sorrows and troubles that face a person in the earthly life.
3. Three women — the life of a person before showing interest in self-knowledge.
4. The man who plucks the fruit is the awakening of the desire to learn the secrets of the universe.
5. A man with a hand on his head-despair at the inability to find answers to the questions of the universe.
6. The two in Red — wisdom and the ability to analyze.
7. The bird is a spiritual path.
8. The woman in black is a human soul at the highest stage of development.
9. The source is eternity.
10. The statue of the deity — the hope for the life of the soul in the other world after death.
11. A teenager is a soul who has never known the desire for self-knowledge.
12. A goat, a kitten and a puppy — the carelessness of existence without the search for a spiritual path.
13. A naked girl is a pleasure that is pursued in the material world.
14. The old woman-the mortality of the human body.
15. A bird with a lizard in its claws — the inevitability of death.
16. By the way, the suicide attempt was unsuccessful, and after the incident, the artist's life began to change for the better.
