"Mahana Atua" (Day of the God) is a painting by French artist Paul Gauguin, created in 1894 during his first stay in Tahiti. The work is an oil on canvas and measures 66 x 87 cm. It is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago. This painting is one of Gauguin's most famous works and exemplifies his departure from Western artistic traditions while embracing the vivid colors, abstract figures, and mystical themes inspired by the Tahitian environment and culture.

In "Mahana Atua," Gauguin depicts a scene of Tahitian life that is rich in religious and spiritual symbolism. The composition is divided into three distinct sections, each representing different aspects of Tahitian mythology and the native way of life. The left section of the painting shows a group of women, one of whom is holding a fruit, which symbolizes fertility and life. The central section features a mysterious figure that is thought to represent a Tahitian deity, surrounded by worshipers. The right section portrays a ritual dance, suggesting a connection with the divine.

Gauguin's use of bold, flat colors and simplified forms in "Mahana Atua" reflects his synthesis of Post-Impressionist and Symbolist influences, as well as his adaptation of the visual language of Tahitian culture. This painting, like many of his works from this period, challenges traditional European representations of the exotic and the other, offering instead a complex, nuanced portrayal of Tahitian spirituality and society. "Mahana Atua" remains a pivotal piece in understanding Gauguin's artistic legacy and his quest for a primitive purity in art, away from the industrialized modernity of Europe.
