"At the Foot of the Mountain" (French: "Au pied de la montagne") is an 1892 oil painting by the French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin. This artwork is one of Gauguin's many pieces created during his first stay in Tahiti, a period when he sought to escape "everything that is artificial and conventional" in Europe. The painting is a testament to Gauguin's fascination with the perceived exoticism and primal innocence of the Tahitian people and landscapes, themes that are recurrent in his work from this period.

The painting depicts two Tahitian women sitting in the foreground, with one of them holding a fruit, possibly a mango, which is a common motif in Gauguin's Tahitian works, symbolizing both the lushness of the island and the sensuality of its inhabitants. Behind them, the titular mountain looms, possibly representing the natural grandeur of the island and the spiritual connection the Tahitians had with their land. The use of bold colors and simplified forms reflects Gauguin's move away from Impressionism towards a more Symbolist approach, emphasizing emotional response and the use of symbolism over realistic representation.

"At the Foot of the Mountain" is notable for its exploration of cultural identity and the impact of colonialism, as Gauguin's works from this period often romanticize and idealize Tahitian culture while simultaneously revealing the complex dynamics between the native population and European influences. The painting is part of a larger narrative in Gauguin's oeuvre that questions Western civilization's assumptions and seeks to portray an alternative, more harmonious way of life.

The painting is held in a public collection and has been exhibited in various museums around the world, contributing to the ongoing discussion of Gauguin's artistic legacy and the ethical considerations of his portrayal of Tahitian culture. As with many of Gauguin's works, "At the Foot of the Mountain" continues to be a subject of scholarly interest and public fascination, offering insight into the artist's unique vision and the broader context of late 19th-century art movements.
