"Manao Tupapau" (also known as "Elle pense au revenant," which translates to "She Thinks of the Ghost" or "The Spirit of the Dead Keeps Watch") is a notable oil painting created by the French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin during his first stay in Tahiti between 1893 and 1894. This work is one of Gauguin's most famous paintings and reflects his search for a primitive and exotic culture that he hoped to find in Tahiti.

The painting depicts a young Tahitian woman, Teha'amana, Gauguin's native wife, lying on her stomach on a bed, with her eyes wide open and a look of fear or apprehension. The background of the scene is shrouded in darkness, and a ghostly figure, which is believed to represent the Tupapau, a spirit from Tahitian mythology, is seen in the background, evoking a sense of the supernatural.

"Manao Tupapau" is a striking example of Gauguin's Synthetist style, which emphasizes flat areas of color, bold outlines, and simplified forms. The use of color and the juxtaposition of the figure against the dark background create a powerful emotional impact, which is characteristic of Gauguin's work during this period. The painting is also significant for its exploration of the themes of life, death, and the spiritual world as perceived through the lens of Tahitian culture.

The work is emblematic of Gauguin's post-colonial encounter with Tahiti and his attempt to represent the complexities of the Tahitian psyche and spirituality, which he saw as being in stark contrast to the materialism of European society. "Manao Tupapau" has been widely discussed by art historians and critics for its cultural implications, its representation of the exotic 'Other,' and its influence on the Primitivism movement in art.

Today, "Manao Tupapau" is held in a private collection and continues to be a subject of study and admiration for its rich cultural context, its haunting imagery, and its pivotal role in the development of modern art.
