Maurice Denis's 'The Return of Young Tobie' depicts a biblical scene with simplified forms and a muted palette, characteristic of the Symbolist movement and Les Nabis.
Maurice Denis (1870-1943) was a French painter, printmaker, and theorist associated with the Symbolist movement and the group Les Nabis. He is known for his decorative and spiritual approach to painting, often incorporating religious or mythological themes into his work. Denis's art aimed to express emotions and ideas through simplified forms and harmonious colours. He also wrote extensively on art theory, advocating for a return to traditional values and a rejection of realism. 'The Return of Young Tobie' exemplifies Denis's style, depicting a scene inspired by the Book of Tobit from the Old Testament Apocrypha. The painting shows the young Tobie returning home, accompanied by the archangel Raphael. The composition features a family group on a beach, with the angel and Tobie appearing as ethereal figures in the background. A white dog runs along the beach, leaving a trail of footprints. The colour palette is soft and muted, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. The figures are simplified and stylised, reflecting Denis's interest in decorative art and his departure from strict representation.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
