EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Gustave Moreau's masterpiece, "Pasiphae and the Bull" created between 1876-80. The artwork, rendered in watercolor and gouache on paper, measures 26x51 cm and is housed at the Musee Gustave Moreau in Paris, France. The painting depicts a mesmerizing scene from Greek mythology, featuring Pasiphae, the wife of King Minos of Crete. In this symbolic portrayal, Pasiphae is consumed by an unnatural desire for a bull. The artist skillfully captures her inner turmoil as she grapples with forbidden desires. Moreau's work falls within the realm of Symbolism - an artistic movement that sought to convey emotions and ideas through vivid imagery. This particular piece beautifully combines elements of landscape and nude artistry against a backdrop of a stunning sunset. The setting sun adds depth to the composition while enhancing its emotional impact. With its rich symbolism and masterful execution, "Pasiphae and the Bull" stands as a testament to Moreau's talent as well as his ability to evoke profound emotions through his art. This print allows viewers to appreciate every intricate detail up close while immersing themselves in this mythical tale.
