Day of god (Mahana no atua) is a canvas oil painting (68,3x91,5 cm) made in 1894 by the French painter Paul Gauguin.
It is kept in the Chicago Institute of Art.
The picture was painted in France in the interval between two stays in Tahiti. It represents a sacrifice to the goddess Kali visible in the center of the painting. The spots in the foreground are the reflections that the colorful Polynesian vegetation produces on the surface of the sea. It is understood that it is water and not vegetation as women immerse their feet. Links externalize the wikitesto
