"Les Cigales et les Fourmis" (The Cicadas and the Ants) is a painting by the French post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin, created in 1889. This work is an oil on canvas and is known for its vivid colors and bold compositions, characteristics that are emblematic of Gauguin's mature style. The painting is inspired by the fable of the same name by Aesop, which tells the story of hardworking ants and carefree cicadas, serving as an allegory for the virtues of hard work and the perils of heedlessness.

Gauguin's interpretation of the fable is infused with his signature symbolism and the influence of his experiences in Brittany and the South Seas. The painting juxtaposes the industrious ants with the leisurely cicadas, possibly reflecting the artist's contemplation on the nature of work, leisure, and the societal values associated with them. Gauguin's use of color and form in "Les Cigales et les Fourmis" also demonstrates his departure from naturalism and his movement towards a more abstracted, expressive style that would later influence the development of modern art.

The painting is part of Gauguin's broader oeuvre, which is characterized by a rejection of Western conventions and an embrace of the exotic and primitive, both in terms of subject matter and artistic approach. "Les Cigales et les Fourmis" contributes to the understanding of Gauguin's exploration of themes such as the dichotomy between civilization and nature, the search for a primordial paradise, and the critique of modern society.
