Les Communiantes, also known as The Communicants, is a significant painting by the French artist Maurice Denis, created in 1893. Maurice Denis was a prominent figure in the Symbolist movement and a founding member of the Nabi group, which sought to infuse art with spiritual and symbolic meaning. This painting exemplifies Denis's commitment to these ideals, blending religious themes with a modernist approach to composition and color.

The artwork depicts a group of young girls dressed in white, participating in a First Communion ceremony, a rite of passage in the Roman Catholic Church. The setting is a church interior, rendered with a sense of reverence and tranquility. Denis's use of color is particularly noteworthy; he employs a muted palette dominated by whites and soft pastels, which enhances the ethereal quality of the scene. The figures are arranged in a harmonious, almost rhythmic pattern, reflecting Denis's interest in the decorative and structural aspects of painting.

Les Communiantes is also notable for its flat, two-dimensional style, which was influenced by Japanese prints and the work of Paul Gauguin. This stylistic choice marks a departure from the more naturalistic approaches of Denis's contemporaries, aligning him with the avant-garde movements of his time. The painting's emphasis on line and form over realistic representation underscores Denis's belief in the primacy of the artist's vision and the spiritual dimension of art.

In addition to its aesthetic qualities, Les Communiantes holds a place of importance in the context of Denis's broader oeuvre. It reflects his deep Catholic faith and his ongoing exploration of religious themes, which would continue to be a central focus throughout his career. The painting is housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, where it remains a testament to Denis's unique contribution to the development of modern art.
