Gustave Moreau's The Rape of Europa |
||||||
 |
||||||
|
||||||
| French painter Gustave Moreau helped to inspire the symbolist movement in late 19th-century France. The mythological theme of The Rape of Europa illustrates the symbolists’ concern for expressing reality through imagination. Moreau’s work is generally characterized by the use of brilliant colors and exaggerated expressiveness in dreamlike depictions. | ||||||
