About this artwork
Painted in oil on canvas in 1889, this work by Paul Gauguin shows a Breton couple on a narrow path that runs precariously along a cliff above the Atlantic. The title points to the flageolet, a small wind instrument, and a scythe appears among the details, giving the scene a rural, everyday feel. The setting is linked to Clohars-Carnoët. Part landscape and part scene of daily life, it places two figures against the sea and the sheer edge of the land. The painting is now in the Indianapolis Museum of Art in Indiana.
On your wall: Its coastal subject and sense of open air suit a living room, study or hallway where a landscape with human presence can draw the eye.

About Paul Gauguin
Paul Gauguin was a French painter who also worked as a sculptor, printmaker, ceramist and writer. His art is linked with Post-Impressionism and Symbolism, and he was an influential maker of woodcuts and wood engravings. Only moderately successful in his lifetime, he is now valued for his experimental use of colour and his Synthetist style, which set him apart from Impressionism.
