“His innermost feelings were like the Magic Carpet in the old tale, a thought of a distant place or a half-forgotten age and straightway there he was! In the dawn of Greece, in Byzantium with its glint of jewels and mosaic, in the languid and sumptuous East, in the fabulous country inhabited by chimeras and hippogriffs and djinns, or in the world of miracles that simple, pious folk created long ago and have passed down to us! Rapt and earnest, he painted myth and fairy story as though mankind were waiting breathless for the message of his pictures.“
- Bryson Burroughs, The Metropolitan Museum of Art Bulletin: Gustave Moreau.
