Contes barbares; two young Tahitian women and a fairytale-devil (probably an exaggerated likeness of painter Meyer de Haan). Inv. G 54

Fascinated by Tohotaua's appearance, Gauguin once again had the young woman sit as his model. In what is perhaps his most beautiful and mysterious painting, the ‘Contes Barbares’ from 1902, she looks out at us again: We recognise her in the figure kneeling in the foreground with the orange-red glowing hair.
Present and past come together in this painting, animated by the artist's clearly recognisable longing for death. The depiction of his friend Jacob Meyer de Haan, who died in 1895 and whom he had met in Le Pouldu in Breton in 1889, refers in particular to the past. There, Gauguin created a portrait of de Haan with the memorable title ‘Nirvana’. 13 years later
Gauguin repeated this diabolical-looking portrait of his artist friend in the middle of a South Sea landscape. The white clouds of smoke look like clouds drifting away after a cleansing rain shower, the fruit like an offering, and the lilies are an old symbol for the simultaneous proclamation of life and death.
In October 1903, five paintings by Paul Gauguin arrived in Hagen, including the Contes Barbares. In his confirmation of receipt, Osthaus complained about the high prices, whereupon Ambroise Vollard, Gauguin's art dealer of many years, pointed out that he had not been able to maintain the prices of the previous summer, as the artist had just died. For this reason, Karl Ernst Osthaus initially hesitated to acquire this important work in 1904 together with other paintings by the Frenchman.

Vincent van Gogh’s Enclosed Field with Ploughman (October 1889) captures the view from the artist’s window at the asylum in Saint-Rémy, where he stayed during a period of recovery. In a letter to his brother Theo, Van Gogh described the landscape: “A field of yellow stubble being ploughed, the opposition of purplish ploughed earth with strips of yellow stubble.” The painting integrates these elements with a soft patchwork of forms, embodying Van Gogh’s expressive style. Windmills in the background add a poetic touch, likely inspired by his imagination rather than reality. This work, which reflects Van Gogh’s connection to the natural world even during confinement, was bequeathed to the MFA in 1993 by William A. Coolidge, who acquired it in 1936 from Arthur Tooth and Sons, London.


The Museum of Fine Arts was founded in 1870 and relocated to its current neoclassical building designed by architect Guy Lowell at 465 Huntington Avenue in 1909. The museum's vast collection spans over 500,000 works of art, with highlights including ancient Egyptian artifacts, 18th- and 19th-century American art, French Impressionist and Post-Impressionist masterpieces, and a renowned collection of Asian art. Originally located in a Gothic Revival building in Copley Square, much of the museum’s early collection came from the Boston Athenaeum Art Gallery. Over the years, the museum expanded significantly, adding the Decorative Arts Wing in 1968, the Norman Jean Calderwood Garden Court and Terrace in 1997, and a modern Americas Wing in the mid-2000s designed by Foster and Partners.

Vincent van Gogh’s Ravine (1889) captures the dramatic landscape near the asylum at Saint-Rémy where the artist resided during a pivotal year of his life. Painted in autumn, the scene features rugged terrain bathed in violet hues, interspersed with red highlights that Van Gogh described as “beautiful and grandiose.” The composition exemplifies his ability to merge melancholy with intense vitality, drawing on his experience working en plein air in challenging conditions. Gauguin, seeing this work in Paris, praised it for its originality and profound connection to nature. Beneath this surface lies an earlier painting of a hillside in bloom, discovered through conservation efforts, revealing Van Gogh’s resourcefulness in reusing canvases. The painting passed through the hands of several collectors, including Amédée Schuffenecker and the Galerie Barbazanges, before being acquired by Keith McLeod in Boston and ultimately bequeathed to the MFA in 1952.

A delightful scene, full of social interest, by the English artist, Malcolm Drummond (1880-1945). The painting shows clear signs of his participation in the Camden Town Group, who were influenced by the works of the Post-Impressionists and Walter Sickert.

ЖУРНАЛ СТОЛИЦА И УСАДЬБА N° 44 за 1915 год:
''У нас в России после «периода усадебного», во время крепостного права, наступил период упадка усадебной жизни. Теперь он снова начинает возрождаться.
Вместе с культурными уголками пойдет по всей земле русской и культура деревни: это тесно связано одно с другим. Нельзя насильно заставить любить родную усадьбу, если душа лежит к жизни Парижа. Но усадьба станет милее, если вдуматься, что истинно культурный человек не может не стремиться туда''.
