Gustave Moreau (1826-1898) was a French Symbolist painter whose artwork is associated

with the fin de siècle.

The Gustave Moreau Collection at Spirit of the Ages includes art images from some of

Moreau's seminal work. As a valuable reference resource, options are also provided for

purchasing a range of gifts, including reproduction prints, posters and greeting cards.

Moreau's principle art training was undertaken with François-Édouard Picot - an artist

whose own focus was mytholigical, religious and historial subjects - and through a

friendship with Théodore Chassériau (an artist noted for his allegorical murals), Moreau

developed his interest in depicting mythological and religious themes.

Above, we show a vintage photograph

of Gustave Moreau

Charles Blanc made the following comment on Moreau's art in Le Temps (1881):

One would have to coin a word for the occasion if one

wished to characterise the talent of Gustave Moreau, the

word colourism for example, which would well convey all

that is excessive, superb and prodigious in his love for colour.

… It is as if one were in the presence of an illuminator who

had been a jeweller before becoming a painter and who,

having yielded to the intoxication of colour, had ground

rubies, sapphires, emeralds, topazes, opals, pearls and mother

of pearl to make up his palette.

The following quote from Moreau - from Paladilhe's Gustave Moreau (1972) - provides

an insight into the artist's interests and goals:

I am dominated by one thing, an irresistible, burning attraction

towards the abstract. The expression of human feelings and the

passions of man certainly interest me deeply, but I am less

concerned with expressing the motions of the soul and mind

than to render visible, so to speak, the inner flashes of intuition

which have something divine in their apparent insignificance

and reveal magic, even divine horizons, when they are

transposed into the marvellous effects of pure plastic art.

For connoisseurs of the work of Gustave Moreau, we have prepared Greeting Cards displaying images of each of his illustrations featured in the Collection and on the left, we show an example of how these Greeting Cards appear.

To allow you to customise a purchase of a selection of cards, we have provided options for orders below each image.

Similarly, we have provided options for the purchase of reproductions of these

wonderful images in a variety of large formats and on the right, we show an

example of how these images can appear when framed.

Each of those reproductions is prepared with archival quality materials to ensure

many years of ongoing enjoyment.

To purchase, simply click on the appropriate "Add to Cart" button and you will

be taken through to our Shopping Cart secured through PayPal. Multiple

purchases will be consolidated by that feature and shipping and handling costs

to any destination in the world are accommodated by our flat-rate fee of

We are able to reproduce these images in a variety of sizes and naturally, should
