Maurice Denis's "The Annunciation under the Arch with Lilies" presents a serene and modern interpretation of the biblical scene, rendered in soft colours and a flattened perspective characteristic of the Nabis movement.
Maurice Denis, a French painter and theorist associated with the Nabis movement, created this interpretation of the Annunciation. The Nabis sought to synthesise traditional art with modern aesthetics, often incorporating symbolism and spirituality into their work. Denis, in particular, aimed to revive religious art with a fresh, modern approach. In this painting, the Virgin Mary stands beneath an archway, rendered in soft, muted colours. She is depicted in a simple blue robe and white veil. An angel, with delicate pink wings, appears to her right. The background shows a landscape with a pale blue sky and hints of vegetation. Lilies, symbols of purity and the Virgin Mary, are placed prominently in the foreground. The composition is deliberately flattened, with less emphasis on traditional perspective, which is typical of the Nabis style. The overall effect is one of serenity and spiritual contemplation, moving away from the dramatic portrayals of earlier religious art.

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.
