Gustave Moreau, master of symbolism
A major painter of 19th-century French symbolism, Gustave Moreau crafted a work where dream, mythology, and decadence meet to question the human soul. Trained in the academic tradition, he broke free from rules to favor a prolific imagery influenced by Antiquity, the Renaissance, and mythic literatures, inspiring generations of artists, including those involved in late-century decor. Among his most famous works are narrative compositions with esoteric twists, where each element becomes a symbol; his approach profoundly renewed narrative and decorative painting in Europe.
