The peacocks are the last feature you would notice on viewing Landscape with peacocks. The painting shows a world beyond reality, one we can never know if we were never there with the artist himself. It was the period where he lived in Tahiti when he produced many of his finest works. Here he displays two peacocks in the foreground, a young boy bringing down an axe to a coconut tree in the mid-ground and two figures further behind him. Beyond them, Nature stretches on along the vertical canvas. and coherent with his style, the painting is made of odd colour choices with a composition that helps many layers and dimensions. Although the peacocks are in the foreground, the viewer can see till miles away from where the peacocks are, it is filled with layers of trees, hills, mountains and skies. The exaggerated colour scheme, the distortion of lines and figures melts together to create a whole, despite the contrast between them, it plunges you into a deep altered reality
