The hills of Fiesole near Florence rise behind young virgins dressed in the white robes of antiquity and crowned with flowers. Denis loved the land of central Italy with its natural beauty and artistic heritage stretching from antiquity to the Renaissance, and he lived in the region during several periods of his life. Denis was adept at the depiction of the world of western Europe’s original classical and humanist traditions spread out amidst a superbly familiar landscape.
