Apparition de Salammbô Oil on cardboard in relief, point signature top right 23.5 x 15 cm This oil on cardboard is unmistakably part of a Symbolist aesthetic (Gustave Moreau, Puvis de Chavannes, Pont-Aven school, Nabis school). Its subject, inspired by Gustave Flaubert's novel Salammbô, invites the imagination and reverie. This female figure, with her sensual, almost spiritual aura, is reminiscent of Gustave Moreau's characters. The almost cadaverous whiteness of her skin evokes themes particularly dear to Symbolist painters, such as death, esotericism, the occult and religion.
