The painting "Nativity" or "Nativité (Te tamari no atua)" was created by Paul Gauguin during his second stay in Tahiti. The work reinterprets the traditional Christian Nativity scene, blending it with Gauguin's personal experiences and Tahitian cultural elements. The painting depicts a Tahitian woman lying on a bed, surrounded by figures that evoke the Nativity, including a seated woman holding a baby, an angel with green wings, and cows in the background.
