Rose Cross Salon. Durand-Ruel Gallery

1892

Carlos Schwabe designed this stunning poster for the 1892 'Salon de la Rose + Croix,' a famous exhibition for Symbolist artists who rejected realism for mysticism. The scene depicts a spiritual journey: a figure in dark blue ascends a staircase to offer a flower to a radiant, white-clad figure, representing the soul's elevation from the earthly to the divine. At the bottom, a musician sits by the water gazing upward, embodying the artist's longing for inspiration. It’s a perfect example of Art Nouveau style, packed with esoteric symbols and elegant, flowing lines.
