Gustave Moreau
From 1879 until 1884 Moreau was commissioned by collector Anthony Roux to illustrate The Fables of Jean de La Fontaine in which he excelled. Moreau was paid 83,5000 Francs for sixty four watercolours all of which were sold to a private collector in 1914. One of the watercolours was later given to the Musée national Gustave Moreau.
