Le Chemin dans les arbres
Description
Le chemin est un thème sur lequel Maurice Denis est revenu à plusieurs reprises, plus ou moins directement, dans son œuvre. C'est un motif qui lui permet d'évoquer symboliquement la difficile progression de l'âme vers la pureté, son cheminement obscur vers la lumière divine et l'amour pur.L'impression de solitude et de pauvreté de l'individu perdu dans le monde est ici suggérée par une interminable voie, étroite et bordée de murs entre lesquels les êtres ne peuvent avancer qu'aveuglément, soutenus par la foi et la prière.
Subject depicted
paysage (forêt, chemin, personnage imaginaire)
