Although Tahiti is depicted as an innocent paradise, the two women in the painting confront the viewer in a way similar to that in Manet's Le déjeuner sur l'herbe (1863) or Olympia (1863),[2] and follow an artistic tradition of comparing woman's breasts to flowers or fruit.[3] The women in the painting also appear in two other works by Gauguin, Faa Iheihe (Tahitian Pastoral) (1898) and Rupe, Rupe (1899).[1]
The painting was attacked April 1, 2011, while on loan to the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. Due to the protection of the plexiglass, the painting was not harmed.[4][5]
