GUSTAVE MOREAU
THE HAUNTING OF AN EMPEROR
I believe neither in what I touch or what I see. I only believe in what I do not see, and solely in what I feel.
Gustave Moreau

French Symbolist artist Gustave Moreau (1826-1898) may not have the name recognition of his student Henri Matisse today, but he does have a major art museum in Paris dedicated to thousands of his paintings, watercolors, and drawings with titles like The Apparition, Angel Traveler, and Salome. However, the hypnotic Dream Haunting the Mogul is still privately owned, reflecting how tales of the faraway Orient stirred Moreau’s rich imagination.
