One of Maurin’s most known works, showing four overlapping heads that seem to merge into one calm movement. The figures are painted with a mix of realism and strong outlines that give the scene a decorative rhythm without losing its human presence.
There is no overt mysticism or religious iconography, yet it feels completely spiritual. Maurin reached that through light, color, and composition rather than storytelling or clear symbols. He was appreciated by contemporary artists like Degas for his skill and honesty, and this work shows why, it’s both structured and emotional, modern but grounded in careful observation.
