These pictures are from the Gustave Moreau museum in Paris, France. The museum is located in the home where the 19th century French painter lived and worked. He was the son of wealthy parents and mostly lived the life of a recluse. This stairway is a piece of art in itself. What a way to "unwind" after a long day painting. If I should go to Paris, this will be a required stop for me. Think of climbing this stairway as the beautiful paintings swirl around you....
Moreau mistrusted reason and the observation of the eye: "only my inward feelings seem to me eternal and incontestably certain."
A self portrait of the artist done for his mother.
