Procession de Fete Dieu 1904

"Procession de Fete Dieu" (1904) by Maurice Denis, is a striking example of the artist's Symbolism style. The painting depicts a procession of figures in white robes, accompanied by harpists, ascending a stairway toward a luminous background. The scene is set in a lush garden, with vibrant greenery and delicate pink flowers. The composition emphasizes the figures' ethereal and spiritual nature, while the use of flat planes and decorative patterns evokes a sense of the symbolic and the mystical. Denis was a key figure in the Nabis movement, a group of artists who sought to express spiritual and emotional truths through the use of color and form. This piece reflects his interest in religious imagery and the exploration of symbolism in art.
