If not a father, then at the very least a governing figure of the Surrealist and Symbolist movement, Gustave Moreau is celebrated in this exhibition. The former residence of the painter, this building was turned into a museum following his death in 1895 and was a mecca for many influencial painters in the period between the two World Wars. There is a certain romantic and mystical air surrounding the works on display. Influenced by the Pre-Raphaelite movement in England, Moreau created paintings of fantasy and mythology that had a certain poetic melancholy. Of particular interest is Moreau's fascination with the 'Femme Fatale', and he dipicts her in numerous guises; as Salome, Eve, Delila, a sphinx, vampire, virgin, harpy and as The Lady with the Unicorn.
