헬레네
Gustave Moreau transforms the legendary Helen of Troy into a towering, jewel-encrusted idol, standing high above the city walls in shimmering robes of emerald and midnight blue. She clutches a delicate white flower, looking down with a melancholic detachment at the figures and treasures scattered at her feet, embodying the Symbolist obsession with the mysterious 'femme fatale.' Moreau, who famously taught Henri Matisse, filled his canvases with such mythological dreamscapes, preferring imagination over strict historical accuracy.
