The Return of Young Tobie 1918

"The Return of Young Tobie" is a 1918 painting by Maurice Denis, a prominent figure in the Nabis movement. The artwork depicts a group of children on a sandy path leading toward a house by the sea. The children are casually dressed and appear to be enjoying a carefree afternoon. The scene is bathed in warm sunlight, creating a sense of peace and tranquility. The work is notable for its use of color and light, and it embodies Denis's philosophy of "color as a sensation" as seen in his later, more decorative style.
