Salome: Henner and Moreau facing the myth

Jean-Jacques Henner and Gustave Moreau shared a voracious fascination for the biblical figure of Salomé, this magnetic heroine oscillating between purity and provocation. The Musée Jean-Jacques Henner orchestrates an unprecedented encounter between these two masters of the 19th century through a trio of stunning works. From nerve-racking sketches to completed canvases, the route illuminates the diversity of perspectives on this enchanting female myth. The event marks above all the first public presentation of Salomé painted by Henner, a major piece acquired in 2024. Between mysterious shadows and symbolic bursts, this artistic confrontation unfolds from February 18 to June 22, 2026. This is an exceptional opportunity to observe how one same muse inspired such contrasting visions, within a place that has preserved all the soul of an artist's workshop.
