France/Indonesia: 'Aita parari te tamari vahine Judith' (Annah the Javanese, or The Child-woman Judith Is Not Yet Breached). Oil on canvas painting by Paul Gauguin (7 June 1848 - 8 May 1903), c. 1893-1894. Annah the Javanese (born 1880/1881) was Gauguin’s lover and model. She left him in 1894, and stole everything of value from his apartment. Later she posed for the artist Alphonse Mucha. Paul Gauguin was born in Paris in 1848 and spent some of his childhood in Peru. He worked as a stockbroker with little success, and suffered from bouts of severe depression. He also painted.

Paul Gauguin was born in Paris in 1848 and spent some of his childhood in Peru. He worked as a stockbroker with little success, and suffered from bouts of severe depression. He also painted. In 1891, Gauguin, frustrated by lack of recognition at home and financially destitute, sailed to the tropics to escape European civilization and 'everything that is artificial and conventional'. His time there, particularly in Tahiti and the Marquesas Islands, was the subject of much interest both then and in modern times due to his alleged sexual exploits. He was known to have had trysts with several native girls, some of whom appear as subjects of his paintings. Gauguin died on 8 May 1903 and is buried in Calvary Cemetery (Cimetière Calvaire), Atuona, Hiva ‘Oa, Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia.
