Painted around 1875, Chicken Coop (Le Poulailler) dates from Paul Gauguin’s early formative period while he worked as a stockbroker in Paris and painted alongside Camille Pissarro. Exploring rural motifs en plein air, Gauguin focused on capturing the authentic, unpretentious atmosphere of French farm life. Housed in the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid, Spain, this cabinet-scale canvas highlights Gauguin’s early sensitivity to natural daylight, earthy color palettes, and lively brushwork—offering art lovers a rare glimpse into the traditional country studies that laid the foundation for his later Post-Impressionist and Tahitian revolutions.
