The Apparition | Gustave Moreau | 1876

A masterpiece of Symbolist mysticism, Gustave Moreau’s The Apparition depicts the biblical Salome confronting the radiant, severed head of John the Baptist, suspended in a supernatural halo of light. The opulent setting, rendered with jewel-like detail and intricate ornamentation, heightens the painting’s sense of exotic decadence and spiritual terror. Through its fusion of sensuality and sanctity, Moreau transforms the biblical narrative into a visionary meditation on desire, guilt, and divine retribution—an emblem of fin-de-siècle fascination with the femme fatale and the mystical unseen.
