"Tahiti Revisited" is an oil painting by the English artist William Hodges, who is known for his work as a landscape painter and as the draughtsman on Captain James Cook's second voyage to the Pacific Ocean. Hodges created the work after his return to England, and it reflects his experiences and observations of Tahiti, which he visited during the voyage from 1772 to 1775.

The painting is significant for its depiction of the Tahitian landscape and its inhabitants, offering a European perspective on the Pacific islands during the Age of Discovery. Hodges's work is characterized by its attention to the effects of light and atmosphere, and "Tahiti Revisited" is no exception. The painting captures the lush, verdant environment of Tahiti and the serene, idyllic life of its people, as perceived by Hodges.

As an artist on Cook's voyage, Hodges had the opportunity to study the landscape, flora, fauna, and people of Tahiti firsthand. His artworks from this period played a crucial role in shaping European perceptions of the Pacific and contributed to the broader artistic and scientific knowledge of the time. "Tahiti Revisited" not only serves as a historical record of Hodges's journey but also reflects the broader themes of the Enlightenment, including the pursuit of knowledge and the fascination with the "noble savage" concept.

The painting is part of Hodges's broader body of work that helped to establish him as a significant figure in 18th-century British art. His contributions to the visual documentation of Cook's voyages are considered an integral part of the history of exploration and the development of ethnographic and landscape painting. "Tahiti Revisited" remains an important work for understanding the cultural exchange between Europe and the Pacific Islands during this period and for appreciating the artistic legacy of William Hodges.
