Paul Gauguin - Clovis Sleeping (1884)

 Enigmatic and intriguing, Clovis Asleep marks a pivotal moment in the development of Paul Gauguin's unique and multilayered idiom. Painted in 1884, the work was transformative, foreshadowing the radical path the artist had begun to chart. Moving away from the en plein atmospheric landscapes that had hitherto dominated his œuvre work, Gauguin, in the present work, explored the nascent themes of what would later be called Symbolism. Lying on the twilight green ground, Clovis, the artist's favorite child, was fast asleep. A doll lying on a nearby table serves as the sleeping boy's companion as a large cup looms above his head. Everything is dreamlike and breathtaking. On loan to the Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto since 2008, Clovis Asleep is an art of the senses and of the senses.(Christie's, London - Oil on canvas, 46 x 55.5 cm)
