Nimf met een kroon van madeliefjes 1899 - 1901

"Nimf met een kroon van madeliefjes" (Nymph with a Crown of Daisies) is a 1899-1901 painting by Maurice Denis, a prominent figure in the Nabis movement. The painting depicts a nude female figure with a wreath of daisies in her hair. Denis's style is characterized by a focus on flatness and decorative patterns, evident in the simplified forms and the use of soft, pastel colors. This work exemplifies the Nabis' emphasis on synthesizing elements of Symbolism and Art Nouveau. The ethereal nature of the subject and the use of muted colors evokes a sense of tranquility and dreamlike beauty, capturing the spirit of early 20th-century art.
