"Human Misery" (also known as "Misery and Leprosy") is an 1894 painting by the French post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin. This work is part of a series of paintings created during Gauguin's first stay in Tahiti, where he sought to escape "everything that is artificial and conventional" in Europe. The painting is a testament to Gauguin's exploration of the themes of existential suffering, spiritual anguish, and the human condition, which were recurrent motifs in his work during this period.

The painting depicts a Tahitian woman in a state of despair, her expression and posture conveying a profound sense of desolation and suffering. The use of bold colors and simplified forms, characteristic of Gauguin's style, serves to emphasize the emotional impact of the scene. The background, with its abstract elements and symbolic references, may suggest the broader human experience of pain and the search for meaning in a world that can be indifferent to individual suffering.

"Human Misery" reflects Gauguin's interest in synthesizing the visual language of the indigenous cultures he encountered with his own European artistic heritage. The painting is also indicative of Gauguin's critical view of colonialism and its impact on the native populations. Through his art, Gauguin often commented on the social issues and cultural clashes of his time, and "Human Misery" can be seen as part of this broader socio-political commentary.

The work is held in a private collection, and as such, it is not as widely known or accessible as some of Gauguin's other pieces. Nonetheless, "Human Misery" is an important work within Gauguin's oeuvre, offering insight into his artistic evolution and the thematic concerns that preoccupied him during his time in the South Pacific.
