Original Description
In Maurice Denis’ lyrical painting Est C'est La Caresse De Ses Mains (translated as This is the Caress of Her Hands), the viewer is enveloped in an atmosphere of serene intimacy and subtle mysticism. A founding member of the Nabis movement, Denis melds Post-Impressionist vibrancy with Symbolist introspection, depicting ethereal figures in a flattened, decorative composition. The work exemplifies his celebrated maxim: "Remember that a painting—before being a warhorse, a nude woman, or some anecdote—is essentially a flat surface covered with colors assembled in a certain order." Painted in the late 19th or early 20th century, the piece embodies the Nabis’ rejection of realism in favor of emotional and spiritual resonance. Denis’ soft yet luminous palette and rhythmic lines echo stained glass, reflecting his admiration for medieval art. Today, the painting is celebrated as a bridge between modernist experimentation and traditional narrative art, embodying the quiet revolution of Symbolist aesthetics.
For those inspired to incorporate Est C'est La Caresse De Ses Mains into interior decor, consider its harmonious balance of dreamlike grace and structured composition. Ideal for a tranquil bedroom or a contemplative study, the painting’s muted yet warm tones pair effortlessly with soft textiles like linen or velvet in creams, ochres, or sage green. A gilded frame would honor its decorative roots, while a minimalist floater frame would underscore its modern appeal. At medium scale (around 24x36 inches), it commands attention without overwhelming—perfect above a console table or beside a reading nook. Echo its pastel hues through ceramics or upholstery, and balance its poetic ambiguity with clean-lined furniture for a space that feels both refined and evocative. In offices, it lends quiet sophistication to creative workspaces, offering a visual respite from stark modernity.
