"Te Raaú Rahi" ("The Big Tree") is an oil painting created by French post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin in 1891. The artwork is notably from Gauguin's initial period in Tahiti, a time when the artist was exploring and integrating the allure of the exotic and traditional Tahitian life into his work.

The painting depicts a large tree that dominates the frame and imprints the sky, symbolizing the connection between land and the atmosphere. Gauguin's flat decorative style and bold colourization, typical of his Tahitian period, are eloquently represented in this piece. The canvas is divided into two distinctive sections: the heavenly sky and lush green earth, demonstrating Gauguin's fascination with the dichotomy between the spiritual and physical world.

Embedded within the natural scenery, there are several human figures, believed to be Tahitian locals engaging in daily activities. These figures' inclusion offers a glimpse into the societal constructs and lifestyles encountered by Gauguin in Tahiti. The tree itself, standing as an outstanding member of the vibrant tropical foliage, embodies a sense of solidity and permanence amidst the activities of human life, much like traditional societal norms amidst changing generations.

"Te Raaú Rahi" is now housed in the Hermitage Museum, in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The painting provides a vivid insight into Gauguin's artistic development during his stay in Tahiti and bears significance as part of his broader contribution to Symbolist art.
