Gustave Moreau's increasing use of dramatic lighting…

November 1876 CE

Gustave Moreau's increasing use of dramatic lighting intensifies the brilliant, jewel-like colors of his palette.

The Apparition (Dance of Salome) (c. 1876; Fogg Art Museum, Cambridge, Massachusetts) and Dance of Salome (c. 1876; Musée Gustave Moreau, Paris) show the Symbolist painter's richly crowded canvases becoming increasingly concerned with exotic eroticism and violence.
