"Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?" is a seminal painting by French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin, created in Tahiti in 1897-1898. This monumental work is considered one of Gauguin's masterpieces and a pinnacle of his philosophical and artistic exploration during his time in Polynesia. The painting is a large-scale canvas, measuring 139 cm × 374 cm (55 in × 147 in), and is currently housed in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

The painting's composition is a complex, symbolic narrative that reflects Gauguin's introspective questions about the origins of humanity, the purpose of existence, and the nature of the afterlife, themes that were central to Gauguin's work during his later years. The work is divided into three sections, each depicting different stages of life: the beginning of life, the daily existence of adulthood, and the approach of death. This thematic division is underscored by a rich use of color, symbolic imagery, and a blend of Tahitian and religious iconography, which Gauguin employed to convey his existential inquiries.

Gauguin's technique and style in this painting are characteristic of his mature work, with a bold use of color, simplified forms, and a departure from traditional perspective, which contribute to the painting's dreamlike and contemplative quality. The artist himself considered this work to be his magnum opus, a synthesis of his philosophical thoughts and artistic experimentation.

The painting was created during a period of personal crisis for Gauguin, after he had moved to Tahiti in an attempt to escape "everything that is artificial and conventional" in Europe. This context is crucial for understanding the painting, as it reflects Gauguin's disillusionment with Western society and his search for a more authentic and meaningful existence, which he sought, though problematically, through the lens of Tahitian culture and spirituality.

"Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?" has been the subject of extensive scholarly analysis and interpretation, with critics and historians exploring its complex symbolism, its reflection of Gauguin's personal philosophy, and its place within the broader context of Post-Impressionist art. The painting remains a powerful testament to Gauguin's innovative spirit and his enduring quest to understand the fundamental questions of human existence.
