"The Beautiful Angele" (French: "La Belle Angèle"), painted in 1889, is one of Paul Gauguin's notable works, encapsulating his transition towards Symbolism and away from Impressionism. This painting is a portrait of Angèle Delasalle, a friend of Gauguin's and a figure in the artist community of Pont-Aven, a small village in Brittany, France, which became a significant hub for artists during the late 19th century. Gauguin's time in Brittany was marked by his exploration of deeper symbolic content, a departure from the more observational style of Impressionism, and "The Beautiful Angele" stands as a testament to this shift.

The painting is characterized by its bold use of color and simplified forms, elements that would become hallmarks of Gauguin's mature style. The portrait eschews realistic representation in favor of a more abstracted, spiritual expression, reflecting Gauguin's interest in capturing the essence of his subjects beyond their physical appearance. The background and attire of Angèle are rendered in a way that flattens the space, pushing the figure to the forefront and emphasizing the symbolic rather than the literal or naturalistic.

"The Beautiful Angele" is also notable for its place within Gauguin's broader oeuvre and its reflection of the artist's evolving philosophical and aesthetic concerns during his time in Brittany. The painting's composition, with its stark contrasts and vivid palette, illustrates Gauguin's move towards the Synthetist style, which sought to synthesize the outward appearance of natural forms, the artist's feelings about his subject, and the aesthetic considerations of color and line.

Today, "The Beautiful Angele" is celebrated for its contribution to the development of modern art and is studied for its innovative approach to portraiture and its role in the transition from Impressionism to Symbolism and beyond. The work is housed in the Musée d'Orsay, Paris, ensuring its accessibility to the public and its continued influence on artists and art lovers alike.
