"In Olden Times" is a painting by French post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin, created in 1893 during his first stay in Tahiti. The work is also known by its French title, "En Temps Ancien," and is part of Gauguin's broader efforts to depict the culture and way of life in Tahiti, which he often idealized in his art. The painting is a quintessential example of Gauguin's Primitivism, a style that he developed as he sought to escape the constraints of European civilization and its artistic traditions.

The composition of "In Olden Times" features Tahitian figures set within a lush landscape, a common theme in Gauguin's Tahitian oeuvre. Gauguin's use of bold colors, strong outlines, and flattened perspectives reflects his departure from the naturalism of Impressionism and his embrace of a more symbolic and spiritual representation of reality. The painting is imbued with a sense of nostalgia and a longing for a perceived lost age of innocence and purity, which Gauguin associated with the Tahitian people and their pre-colonial past.

This work is significant in the context of Gauguin's career as it illustrates his ongoing exploration of the themes of cultural identity, mythology, and the noble savage, which were central to his artistic philosophy. "In Olden Times" is held in high regard for its contribution to the Symbolist movement and is often discussed in the context of Gauguin's influence on the development of modern art.

The painting is part of the collection of the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, France, where it continues to be studied and admired for its rich cultural narrative and distinctive aesthetic. As with many of Gauguin's paintings, "In Olden Times" has been the subject of extensive art historical research, contributing to our understanding of the artist's complex relationship with the subjects he portrayed and the broader implications of his search for an artistic utopia.
