Maurice Denis Art
French, 1870-1943
Painter, engraver and decorator, Maurice Denis. French artist, born in November 1870 in Granville in Normandy and died in November 1943. He studied at the Lycée Condorcet in Paris, then simultaneously at the École des beaux-arts and at the Académie Julien.
However, Denis did not recognize himself in the naturalist style promoted by his teachers, so he formed Les Nabis with other artists such as Paul Sérusier, Pierre Bonnard and Paul Elie Ranson. This group and artistic movement claims symbolism, partly inspired by Paul Gauguin and Émile Bernard.
Denis and the Nabis have a characteristic style which consists of the application of large areas of paint and the use of radical and unusual colors. Denis is a very productive painter.
He exhibited numerous works alongside those of other Symbolists and Neo-Impressionists during the 1890s. A characteristic work of this period is Spring (1897) which is now part of the permanent collection of the Met in New York. Throughout the first half of the 20th century, Denis exhibited his work regularly, both at the Salon de la Société Nationale and at the Salon des Indépendants. In 1914, he purchased and began the restoration of a 17th century priory in Saint-Germain-en-Laye near Paris. In 1980, the priory was transformed into a museum, dedicated to the works of Denis and more generally to the Nabi movement. The priory is renamed the Priory Departmental Museum. Denis' works have also been exhibited at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts and the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool, England.to

Flowering Peppermint Plants: A 17th C. Besler Hand-colored Botanical Engraving
Located in Alamo, CA
This is a hand-colored copper plate engraving entitled "Pulegium Cervinum, Pseudo Pulegium Struthium, Pulegium Regium", depicting flowering Peppermint, Weld and Pennyroyal plants respectively from Basilius Besler's landmark work, Hortus Eystettensis (Garden at Eichstatt), first published in 1613 in Eichstatt, Germany near Nuremberg and later in 1640 and 1713.
This beautiful colorful engraving is printed on thin laid chain-linked paper. There are subtle creases in the right upper corner, very common with Besler's relating to the drying of the paper during its production. The right margin is thinner than the others. The print is otherwise in excellent condition with striking hand-coloring.
Basilius Besler (1561–1629) was an apothecary and botanist. He was curator of the Willibaldsburg Castle garden of Johann Konrad von Gemmingen, prince bishop...
