"Apres-midi Dans Les Bois" (Afternoon in the Woods) is a notable painting by the French artist Maurice Denis, a prominent figure in the Symbolist and Nabi movements. Created in 1891, this work exemplifies Denis's distinctive approach to painting, characterized by its emphasis on flat planes of color, simplified forms, and a decorative aesthetic that diverges from the naturalistic traditions of the 19th century.

Maurice Denis, born in 1870, was a key member of the Nabi group, a collective of avant-garde artists who sought to infuse their works with spiritual and symbolic meaning. The Nabis, whose name means "prophets" in Hebrew, were influenced by Paul Gauguin and the Symbolist movement, and they aimed to transcend the literal representation of subjects to explore deeper emotional and spiritual dimensions.

"Apres-midi Dans Les Bois" captures a serene and contemplative scene set in a wooded landscape. The painting features a group of figures, likely women and children, engaged in leisurely activities amidst the trees. Denis's use of color is particularly striking; he employs a palette of muted greens, browns, and soft pastels to evoke a tranquil and harmonious atmosphere. The composition is marked by its rhythmic arrangement of forms and the interplay of light and shadow, which create a sense of depth and movement within the flat pictorial space.

Denis's work is often noted for its synthesis of various artistic influences, including Japanese prints, medieval art, and the decorative arts. In "Apres-midi Dans Les Bois," these influences are evident in the stylized treatment of the figures and the overall composition, which eschews realistic detail in favor of a more abstract and symbolic representation.

This painting is a testament to Denis's belief in the primacy of the artist's vision and the importance of conveying a sense of the sacred in everyday life. "Apres-midi Dans Les Bois" remains an important example of Denis's contribution to the development of modern art and his role in the transition from 19th-century realism to 20th-century abstraction.
