Das ganze Leben1888 · Ausbildung
Académie Julian
1890
Founding of the Nabis group
Together with his fellow students from the Académie Julian he formed the artistic group Les Nabis (from the Hebrew for "prophet"); Denis is considered its most prominent theorist.
1890
Manifesto in Art et Critique: the "flat surface"
He published in the journal Art et Critique his famous essay with the words defining a picture as "essentially a flat surface covered with colors assembled in a certain order" — a thesis that became part of the foundation of modernism.

Married: Marthe Meurier
1898
First trip to Rome, turn to neoclassicism
He visited Rome for the first time, where the works of Raphael and Michelangelo in the Vatican made a deep impression on him; on his return he reoriented his art toward neoclassicism.
1899
Exhibition at Durand-Ruel's and the breakup of the Nabis
Tensions among the Nabis came to a head at the exhibition at Durand-Ruel's gallery; from then on each went his own way in art, while remaining on friendly terms.
