More about this artwork

The painting "Ah mais c’est le cœur qui bat trop vite," created by the French artist Maurice Denis in 1899, captures an intimate and ethereal moment that beautifully reflects the essence of the Symbolist movement. This artwork displays a delicate figure, gently touching her chest with a serene expression, conveying an emotion that resonates as both personal and profound. The title, which translates to "Ah, but it’s the heart that beats too fast," suggests an inner turmoil or a moment of realization captured through the subtle and soft color palette.In the composition, the woman is seated against a backdrop that juxtaposes the indoors with an outdoor scene visible through the window. The exterior view, showing a tranquil and somewhat abstract landscape under a setting or rising sun, offers a stark contrast to the pale, introspective mood of the interior. Denis's skillful use of color and form creates a dreamlike quality that invites viewers into a private world where feelings and surroundings blur together.This painting is a testament to Denis’s vision as a painter who sought to express the mysticism of the inner human experience, placing emotional depth and spiritual inquiry at the forefront of artistic expression.

French painter Maurice Denis (1870-1943) was one of the leading artists during the transition from Impressionism to Modern Art. He was heavily influenced by the Symbolist works of Paul Gauguin. Denis would paint with rich colors and experiment with warm and cool colors. Some of his theories have become the foundations of cubism, fauvism, and abstract art.
