He returned to his native country when he was seven and studied in boarding schools in Orléans and Paris. In 1865 he sailed for South America as a midshipman on a merchant ship. Over the next two years he spent his time at sea and fought in the Franco-Prussian War (1870). At the end of the war in 1871 he obtained a position as a stockbroker and began painting. In the coming years he met Pissarro and Cézanne and joined the Impressionists, participating in some of their exhibits. In 1883 he left his job and moved to Rouen, where he stayed with Pissarro. Following an artistic maturation that led him to consider “primitive” artistic experiences as fundamental he began a series of journeys that took him from Europe to South America to the French colonies in the Marquesas Islands. In 1886 he went to Brittany, and specifically to Pont-Aven, for the first time and he returned in 1888 after a trip to Martinique.

He was also an influential practitioner of wood engraving and woodcuts as art forms.^[1]^[2] While only moderately successful during his lifetime, Gauguin has since been recognized for his experimental use of color and Synthetist style that were distinct from Impressionism.

Gauguin was born in Paris in 1848, amidst the tumult of Europe's revolutionary year. In 1850, Gauguin's family settled in Peru, where he experienced a privileged childhood that left a lasting impression on him. Later, financial struggles led them back to France, where Gauguin received formal education. Initially working as a stockbroker, Gauguin started painting in his spare time, his interest in art kindled by visits to galleries and exhibitions. The financial crisis of 1882 significantly impacted his brokerage career, prompting a full-time shift to painting. Gauguin's art education was largely self-taug
