Jean Delville - The Love of Souls
The peculiarity of the Symbolists perhaps most attracts me is the trend in the occult, the mystical, for unfathomable, indecipherable questions of being, life and death.
Jean Delville was born in Belgium in 1867, had all the traits of a symbolist. The Belgian painter, was a follower of Joséphin Péladan, one of the founders of the Rosicrucian Order and precisely one of the experts as regards the occult at that time. Also this was the inclination of the mysterious painter, magic, spiritualism and some extrasensory phenomena, which became a member and secretary of the Theosophical Society, drawing and painting sow his work with the brush that tries to go beyond the merely observable, everyday, with a desire to find and capture the unknowable, the profound and infinite.
In "The Love of Souls" Delville genuinely searches for the ideal of 'the eternal' physical border or across the entire body. Ephemeral, in the hope of perpetuity.
