Musée départemental Maurice Denis "The Priory"

A most beautiful encounter. One of my favourite artists. It's not too much to handle either (you won't get gallery/museum fatigue). Lots of Denis' art, and a small amount of some of the other Nabis. The chapel Denis renovated with his friends in honour of his late wife Marthe is very special, in particular the Stations of the Cross he painted, and the frescoes depicting those who have epitomised each of the Beatitudes.

Closed until 2019 autumn

Very nice site! To visit

Near Paris. Maurice Denise's fantastic pastel-colored works can be viewed as a decoration and several canvases. The chapel is beautiful because his feelings are fully revealed. Although it feels like an abandoned French monastery with a slightly old feeling, its charm can be seen. A good place to go for a quiet walk.

Beautiful museum in the former home of the artist.
