"Nave Nave Fenua", also known as "Delicious Land" or "Fragrant Isle", is an exquisite woodcut print by notable French Post-Impressionist artist, Paul Gauguin. This piece is one among several works created during Gauguin's second stay in Tahiti, a period spanning from 1895 to 1901. It is believed to have been produced circa 1893-1894.

"Nave Nave Fenua" forms a part of Gauguin's ambitious "Noa Noa" suite, a series of ten woodcut prints aimed at conveying the exotic beauty and mystique of Tahitian life and mythology to European audience. The term "Noa Noa" translates to "fragrant" from Tahitian, echoing the alternate title of "Nave Nave Fenua".

The print depicts a Tahitian woman seated near tropical vegetation. A bird perched above the figure possibly symbolizes a spiritual presence, a common theme in Gauguin's Tahitian oeuvres. The use of silhouette and the strong juxtaposition of dark and light areas demonstrate Gauguin's innovative approach to the woodcut technique.

Gauguin's "Nave Nave Fenua" challenges classical European art norms, presenting an exceptional level of intricacy for a woodcut, and adopting a visionary, subjective perspective on its environ. It thus emphasizes the artist's divergence from the traditional arts scene of the time, inching closer to Symbolism while retaining a strong Post-Impressionistic foundation. The artwork serves as a significant testament to Gauguin's fascination with Tahiti, inherently capturing the essence and allure of his experiences in the South Pacific.
