"Elle Était Plus Belle Que Les Rêves" (She Was More Beautiful Than Dreams) is a notable work by French painter Maurice Denis, a leading figure in the Symbolist and Les Nabis movements. Created in 1897, this painting exemplifies Denis's mature style, which combines elements of Symbolism with a distinctive approach to color and form influenced by Paul Gauguin and Japanese prints. The work is emblematic of Denis's preoccupation with the theme of idealized beauty and the spiritual or dream-like representation of women, which he often juxtaposed with religious iconography.

The painting features a serene and ethereal female figure, which is characteristic of Denis's depictions of women during this period. She is enveloped in a dreamy landscape that blurs the lines between reality and imagination, a hallmark of Symbolist art. The use of flattened space and decorative patterns reflects the influence of Les Nabis, a group of post-impressionist avant-garde artists who sought to break down the traditional distinctions between fine and decorative arts.

"Elle Était Plus Belle Que Les Rêves" is not only a testament to Denis's artistic philosophy, which he famously summarized in the statement "Remember that a picture, before being a warhorse, a nude woman, or some anecdote, is essentially a flat surface covered with colors assembled in a certain order," but also an example of the broader Symbolist movement's interest in exploring the power of art to evoke emotion and transcend the mundane.

The painting is held in a private collection or a museum, and it continues to be studied as an important work in the oeuvre of Maurice Denis and within the context of late 19th-century French art. It has been exhibited in various retrospectives of the artist's work and has been discussed in scholarly articles and books on Symbolism and Les Nabis.
