The Dancers (also known as Eternal Summer, Wiesbaden) 1905

Maurice Denis's "The Dancers," also known as "Eternal Summer, Wiesbaden," depicts a scene of graceful figures in a procession through a sun-drenched landscape. The figures, clad in white tunics and adorned with flower wreaths, appear to be dancing as they move through a grove of cypress trees. Their stylized forms and the simplified landscape evoke a sense of harmony and timeless beauty, indicative of the artist's connection to the Nabis movement, a group that prioritized emotional expression over naturalistic representation. This piece, created in 1905, is an example of Denis's distinctive style characterized by flat planes of color, rhythmic lines, and a poetic approach to subject matter.
