Vision after the Sermon is an oil painting by a French artist Paul Gauguin in 1888. It is now being kept by the National Gallery of Scotland, Edinburgh. Gauguin is a Post-Impressionist painter, and this painting is one of his leading art. The red colour is used to express a very strong emotion. It is not clear that the long tape in brown is either a tree or a road, missing a three dimension impression. The story is about Jacob's fight with an angel, with many peasants watching. The main characters are far from the scene, so this painting is more likely to be describing a dream. less
