Framed and Matted Print of The Annunciation by Maurice Denis
Maurice Denis was a French painter who was in love with the Blessed Mother, and wow has this man become my favorite painter of late. He has many works done on the Annunciation, amongst other biblical topics. A devoted husband and father, the artist often used his beloved first wife, Marthe, and their six children as models, placing sacred figures in settings from his daily life. His work is often bold, colorful, inspired by Cézanne but with a reserved restraint from his love of Japanese art. He also influenced modern painting by his insistence on seeing the subject as a flat plane.He wrote: "Art remains a sure refuge, the hope of a reason in life from now on, and the consoling thought that little beauty manifests itself in our lives, and that we are continuing the work of Creation.... Therefore the work of art has merit, inscribed in the marvelous beauty of flowers, of light, in the proportion of trees and shape of waves, and the perfection of faces; to inscribe our poor and lamentable life of suffering, of hope and of thought."
