Painted in 1873, The Forest Path (Le Chemin en forêt) dates from the foundational beginning of Paul Gauguin’s career, created while he was working as a Parisian stockbroker and painting under the mentorship of Camille Pissarro. Working en plein air in the countryside surrounding Paris, Gauguin embraced the light-filled naturalism of the Barbizon School and early Impressionism. Held in a private collection, this intimate landscape reveals Gauguin’s early mastery of atmospheric perspective, earthy color harmonies, and gentle dappled light—laying the technical groundwork long before his radical Synthetist and Tahitian revolutions.
