Eugène Henri Paul Gauguin (; French:[øʒɛnɑ̃ʁipɔlɡoɡɛ̃]; 7 June 1848 – 8 May 1903) was a French painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramist, and writer, whose work has been primarily associated with the Post-Impressionist and Symbolist movements.

Gauguin was born in Paris in 1848, amidst the tumult of Europe's revolutionary year.
