O obrazu
A rider on a white horse occupies the center of The Ford (Flight), Paul Gauguin’s 1901 painting in the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts, Moscow. A nude rider follows, offering raw meat to a bird of prey. Gauguin painted the scene on Hiva Oa in the Marquesas Islands. Its figures recall Dürer’s Knight, Death and the Devil, a reproduction of which he took to Polynesia.

Move to Hiva Oa, the House of Pleasure
On 16 September 1901 Gauguin arrived at Atuona on the island of Hiva Oa (Marquesas Islands), where he bought a plot from the Catholic mission and built a two-story house he named the Maison du Jouir ("House of Pleasure"). Here, despite illness and poverty, he worked at full strength — painting landscapes, writing stories, and engaging in journalism.

Sentence: Fine and Three Months in Prison
After Gauguin's campaign against the gendarmes and his accusations of corruption, the gendarme Claverie sued him for libel: on 27 March 1903 the local magistrate sentenced the artist to a fine of 500 francs and three months in prison. Gauguin appealed to Papeete, but the imprisonment was never carried out — he died shortly afterwards.
