Gustave Moreau
1826–1898
(b Paris, 6 Apr. 1826; d Paris, 18 Apr. 1898). French painter, one of the leading Symbolist artists. He was a close friend of Théodore Chassériau and was influenced by his exotic Romanticism, but Moreau went far beyond him in his feeling for the bizarre and developed a style that is highly distinctive in subject and technique.
