Gustave Moreau (1826-1898) taught at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris from 1892 to 1897. Georges Rouault (1871-1958) was his favorite student there, the one he considered to represent his pictorial doctrine. This work aims to highlight what unites the two painters on an artistic level, to compare their vision of landscape, women, and the sacred, but also to show their shared fascination with matter and color. It also allows us to evoke, through the memories of his students, Gustave Moreau's studio and to better understand the liberal teaching of the man who considered himself more of a ferryman than a teacher: "I am the bridge (he said) over which some of you will cross." Faithful to the memory of his master, Rouault became the first curator of the Gustave Moreau Museum, a position he held until 1932 and never ceased to defend his memory.
