About the piece

Painted in 1907, 'Les Captifs' by Maurice Denis showcases the artist's signature Nabis style with its flat planes of color and rhythmic composition. The scene captures a group of figures bathed in golden light against a soft blue sea, evoking a sense of classical serenity and modern pastoral life.
