"With Gregoire Le Roy. My Heart Cries for the Past" is a symbolist painting by the Belgian artist Fernand Khnopff, created in 1889. This work is emblematic of Khnopff's aesthetic, which often delves into themes of memory, longing, and the enigmatic nature of female beauty. The painting is a portrait of the artist's friend, the poet Grégoire Le Roy, accompanied by a spectral female figure, which is believed to represent the muse or an embodiment of nostalgia.

The composition is characterized by a dreamlike quality, with soft, muted colors and a meticulous attention to detail that is typical of Khnopff's technique. The figures are set against a desolate landscape that suggests a sense of isolation and introspection. The title of the painting, "My Heart Cries for the Past," underscores the work's melancholic mood and the yearning for a lost time or ideal that is central to the Symbolist movement.

Khnopff's collaboration with Grégoire Le Roy in this painting reflects the close relationship between the visual arts and literature among the Symbolists. The painting not only captures the physical likeness of Le Roy but also serves as a visual interpretation of the themes present in his poetry. The presence of the enigmatic female figure, a recurring motif in Khnopff's art, adds a layer of mystery and reinforces the Symbolist preoccupation with the ineffable and the subconscious.

As a significant work in Fernand Khnopff's oeuvre, "With Gregoire Le Roy. My Heart Cries for the Past" is an important example of Symbolist art at the turn of the 20th century. It is held in high regard for its evocative power and its ability to capture the essence of Symbolist concerns through a blend of visual and poetic elements. The painting is housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, where it continues to be studied and admired for its contribution to the Symbolist movement and its influence on subsequent generations of artists.
