''Fatata te Moua'' (also known as ''At the Foot of the Mountain'' or ''At the Big Mountain'') is an oil painting by French post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin, created in 1892 during his first stay in Tahiti. The painting is a quintessential example of Gauguin's Primitivist style, which he developed after becoming disillusioned with the industrialized world and its impact on the purity of culture and the natural environment.

The artwork depicts two Tahitian women sitting in the foreground, one of which is gazing towards the viewer while the other looks off into the distance. In the background, the looming presence of a mountain, possibly Mount Orohena, which is the highest peak in Tahiti, dominates the landscape. The mountain's inclusion is significant as it symbolizes the powerful and untamed nature of the Tahitian landscape, which was a central theme in Gauguin's Tahitian works.

Gauguin's use of bold colors, simplified forms, and strong contours reflects his departure from European artistic conventions and his embrace of what he perceived to be the more authentic and spiritual aspects of non-Western cultures. The title of the painting, ''Fatata te Moua'', translates to "At the Foot of the Mountain" in Tahitian, which emphasizes the importance of the natural setting in the work.

The painting is part of a series of works that Gauguin produced during his time in Tahiti, where he sought to escape "everything that is artificial and conventional" and to live, as he put it, "in ecstasy, calmness, and art." Gauguin's Tahitian period was marked by a prolific output of paintings that sought to capture the essence of the life and landscapes he encountered, which he felt were being eroded by colonial influences and Westernization.

''Fatata te Moua'' is held in a prominent public collection and has been the subject of various art historical studies. It continues to be recognized as a significant work in Gauguin's oeuvre, contributing to the understanding of his artistic evolution and his search for a paradise that he never fully found. The painting is also a testament to the complex legacy of Gauguin's time in Tahiti, which has been re-evaluated in recent years for its representation of colonial dynamics and the artist's own role within them.
