Gustave Moreau

French, 1826–1898

Gustave Moreau (1826–1898) è stato un artista francese che ha svolto un ruolo di primo piano nel movimento Simbolista. Nato a Parigi, studiò al Collège Rollin e all'École des Beaux-Arts, sviluppando uno stile incentrato su allegorie e temi biblici e mitologici tradizionali. Ottenne riconoscimento al Salon di Parigi negli anni '60, in particolare con il suo dipinto "Edipo e la Sfinge", e ricevette la Légion d'Honneur nel 1883. Moreau produsse oltre 15.000 opere, divenne sempre più recluso nella vita successiva ed era noto per la sua riluttanza a vendere o esporre la sua arte.
