Gustave Moreau

Gustave Moreau, born in 1826 in Paris and died in 1898 in Paris, was a French painter associated with the Symbolist movement. His works, such as 'The Apparition' and 'Oedipus and the Sphinx,' are celebrated for their mystical and allegorical themes. Moreau's exploration of mythological and religious subjects and his contributions to Symbolist art have made him a pivotal figure in 19th-century French painting.
