Saint Hubertus polyptych - Maurice Denis

 Salvete Omnes,



Again, happy Saint Hubertus Feast day - Darz Bor to all hunters as the  old Polish hunters' saying. And today one more painting on the St. Hubertus theme.

A polyptych by Maurice Denis - The Legend of Saint Hubertus (1895-97). Monsieur Denis, an ardent Christian and humanist, who was at the time a member of Les Nabis group,  was an accomplished master of fine arts through and through, painter of frescoes drawing on the European painting traditions.  This painting it is said to celebrate the family and faith.






Nota bene  this work is simply beautiful beyond words...l
