Paul Gauguin - Spirit of the Dead Watching – Art Print | Haunting Tahitian Myth & Symbolist Masterpiece

Spirit of the Dead Watching by Paul Gauguin – Haunting Beauty and Island Myth

One of Gauguin’s most provocative masterpieces, Spirit of the Dead Watching (Manao Tupapau) captures the eerie tension between innocence and fear, light and shadow. Painted in Tahiti and published in L’Estampe Originale, this bold work blends Polynesian myth with psychological depth, portraying a young girl lying in the dark as a ghostly spirit looms nearby. Mysterious, sensual, and deeply symbolic, this print is a conversation starter—a stunning fusion of exotic storytelling and avant-garde style for any collector of daring, unforgettable art.

Sized at 8×10", this print is ideal for framing and makes a striking addition to any home, office, or gallery wall.

Printed on heavy 60lb matte photo paper with a soft white finish, this piece offers exceptional detail and ink vibrancy. The acid-free surface ensures longevity, while the 10 mil thickness gives it a luxurious feel worthy of fine art.
