Quand Paul Gauguin arrive à Tahiti pour la première fois en 1891, il tente de retrouver ses instincts primaires étouffés par la civilisation… Que va-t-il y découvrir ?
Même s’il rejette les pratiques de l’Eglise en tant qu’institution, et notamment le rôle des missionnaires qu’il observe sur place, Gauguin a une culture catholique, et épouse une femme protestante. Cette tradition chrétienne affleure dans un certain nombre d’œuvres. Te Nave Nave Fenua (Terre délicieuse) par exemple, évoque l’Eve chrétienne figurée dans un Eden polynésien.
Sa nudité innocente voisine avec une nature idyllique. Le petit démon qui volète auprès de sa tête vient lui suggérer la tentation. Si la pomme du péché originel est remplacée par des fleurs étranges qui prennent l’aspect de plumes de paon, le corps de la jeune tahitienne et son geste sont inspirés de la frise du temple bouddhiste de Borobudur (sur l’île de Java).
