"Portrait of the Artist with the Idol" is a painting by French post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin, created in 1893 during his first stay in Tahiti. The work is a self-portrait that reflects Gauguin's exploration of the themes of identity, exoticism, and primitivism, which were central to his artistic philosophy. In this painting, Gauguin presents himself in a thoughtful pose, with a small sculpture of a Tahitian idol placed in the foreground, symbolizing his fascination with the local culture and spirituality.

The canvas measures 46 x 38 cm and is executed in oil paint, a medium Gauguin used to express his unique style characterized by bold colors, strong outlines, and flattened perspectives. The idol, a representation of the Tahitian god 'Oro, is a recurring motif in Gauguin's Tahitian works and serves as a bridge between the artist and the indigenous culture he sought to understand and represent in his art.

"Portrait of the Artist with the Idol" is notable for its introspective quality and the way it captures Gauguin's self-image as a 'savage' artist, a term he used to describe his departure from European artistic conventions and his embrace of what he perceived as a more authentic and primal way of life in Tahiti. The painting is a testament to Gauguin's complex relationship with the island, which was both an artistic paradise and a site of personal struggle.

The artwork is part of the collection of the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, California, where it continues to be studied and admired for its rich symbolism and its place within Gauguin's oeuvre and the broader context of 19th-century art. "Portrait of the Artist with the Idol" remains a significant piece in understanding the artist's legacy and the cultural dynamics of the colonial era in which he worked.
