French Symbolist painter (1826-1898) whose main focus was the illustration of biblical and mythological figures. ALS in French, three pages on two adjoining black-bordered sheets, 4.5 x 7, July 29, 1886. Moreau writes his friend, poet, and enamelist Claudius Popelin. In part (translated); “Although I’m sick and saddened I spend some very sweet hours thanks to your beautiful book…living for a while in the dream born of our soul. How marvelously evocative…what delicate nuances, subtle impressions, enchantment…the passions of youth, so quickly spent…your life is beautiful and noble because it holds those precious elements of love for the beautiful, of profound tenderness for the good…your exquisite works of art will always be young.” In fine condition, with central horizontal fold, scattered soiling, and light toning.
