Maurice Denis (1870-1943), Green trees, or the procession under the trees, 1893, Musée d'Orsay, Paris.
"Come on, cry with joy for the Lord. " Ps 94.
Large logs regularly punctuate the green cloth, creating the bottom up, what to shadow and secrecy, it takes revelation and light.
Heaven and earth are forever bound by these "scales of Jacob" increased. An angel with outstretched wings is down, and it hosts behind a black wall, white silhouettes, stealth, which processionnent between trees. It gives them access to a garden where deciduous shrubs and soft hide, the viewer, and the tomb and resurrected. What is there to do?
There is nothing to see with our eyes but to live, to feel, sense, looking eagerly. Tinted clouds of dawn are also reluctant gap between secrecy and veil of blue. But heaven is here giving His light and purity to land so dark. We must be reborn from above (Jn 3).
The atmosphere is peaceful, the horizontal and vertical lines of the drawing grid and provide a reassuring beacon. The color palette, though mixed, is soft and smooth.
The resurrection is played there, between hiding and revealing, as is proper to the mystery be without undressing.
For all those who in the early morning, will run in empty tomb ... Beautiful Easter and a good way to Pâques.Sr Nathalie CSJ, St. Guilhem le Desert, April 1, 2009
