The color lithograph appeared in the portfolio "Germinal" in an edition of originally 100 copies, published by "La Maison moderne" in Paris, compiled by Julius Meier-Graefe.
The title "Germinal" was intended to indicate that the portfolio contained the seeds that would have a lasting influence on art in the upcoming 20th century.
Maurice Denis was born the son of a railroad official. In 1871, the family moved to Saint-Germain-en-Laye near Paris, where he spent the rest of his life. In 1888, he attended the Académie Julian in Paris, where Paul Sérusier convinced him of the painting style of the Pont-Aven school. In 1890, he exhibited at the Salon for the first time (with the painting "The Choirboy") and published his first theoretical article in the magazine Art et Critique. He was a founding member of the artists' group Les Nabis together with Pierre Bonnard, Paul Sérusier and Édouard Vuillard; he shared a studio with Bonnard and Vuillard. In 1891, he took part in the exhibition of the Nabis at the Galerie Le Barc de Boutteville. Denis is considered to be the most important theorist of this group.
On his trips to Italy between 1890 and 1895, he studied the works of the Renaissance and in particular the works of Piero della Francesca. This piece has an attribution mark,
