Les premiers pas de Domi à Silencio 1910

"Les premiers pas de Domi à Silencio" (1910) by Maurice Denis is a captivating depiction of a child taking their first steps, surrounded by the beauty of nature. Two figures, likely a mother and a nurse, observe the baby's milestone in a garden overlooking a picturesque seascape. Denis' signature style, influenced by Symbolism and Nabis, is evident in the use of flat planes of color and simplified forms, which create a sense of tranquility and harmony in the scene. This poignant portrayal of a universal moment of joy and innocence exemplifies Denis' focus on the beauty of everyday life and the power of art to capture its significance.
