Jupiter and Semele
1889
Jupiter et Sémélé (1894–1895; English, Jupiter and Semele) is a painting by the French Symbolist artist Gustave Moreau (1826 to 1898). It depicts a moment from the classical myth of the mortal woman Semele, mother of the god Dionysus, and her lover, Jupiter, the king of the gods. She was treacherously advised by the goddess Juno, Jupiter's wife, to ask him to appear to her in all his divine splendor.
The Apparition
1876
The Apparition is a watercolour by French artist Gustave Moreau, painted between 1874 and 1876. It shows the biblical character of Salome dancing in front of Herod Antipas with a vision of John the Baptist's severed head. The 106 cm high and 72,2 cm wide watercolor held by the Musée d'Orsay in Paris elaborates on an episode told in the Matthew 14:6, 11 and Mark 6:21, 29.
