"What! Are You Jealous?" (French: "Ah! Vous jaloux?") is a notable painting by the French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin, created during his first stay in Tahiti in 1892. This work is part of a series of paintings that Gauguin produced after he left France for Tahiti in an attempt to escape "everything that is artificial and conventional" in Europe. The painting is a testament to Gauguin's exploration of the themes of life in Tahiti, focusing on the intimate and often complex relationships among its inhabitants, as well as his experimentation with color, form, and symbolism that characterizes his work during this period.

The painting depicts two Tahitian women sitting closely together, with their expressions and posture suggesting a sense of quiet tension or jealousy, hence the title. The background is lush and vibrant, filled with the rich colors and simplified forms that became hallmarks of Gauguin's style during his time in the Pacific. The use of bold outlines and flat areas of color reflects the influence of the cloisonnism technique, which Gauguin adapted from stained glass and Japanese prints to create a powerful and emotive effect.

"What! Are You Jealous?" is considered an important work in Gauguin's oeuvre, illustrating his departure from Impressionism towards a more symbolic and abstract representation. It encapsulates his quest for a primitive form of expression, unburdened by the conventions of Western art. The painting is also significant for its portrayal of Tahitian culture and society, which Gauguin both idealized and misunderstood, contributing to the complex legacy of his time in Tahiti.

Today, the painting is held in the collection of the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic innovation and its insight into Gauguin's profound, though often controversial, engagement with the idea of the exotic. Through works like "What! Are You Jealous?", Gauguin's influence on the development of modern art, particularly on the Symbolist and Primitivist movements, is evident, making him a pivotal figure in the transition from the 19th to the 20th century in art.
