"L'Apparition" (The Apparition) is a watercolor painting by French Symbolist artist Gustave Moreau, created in 1876. The work is renowned for its intricate detail, rich color palette, and its enigmatic subject matter that typifies Moreau's approach to Symbolism. The painting depicts a biblical scene from the New Testament, where Salome, the stepdaughter of Herod, is shown after demanding and receiving the head of John the Baptist as a reward for her dance, known as the Dance of the Seven Veils.

In "L'Apparition", Moreau presents a haunting image of the severed head of John the Baptist, which appears to Salome in a moment of supernatural occurrence. The head is surrounded by a luminous halo and seems to float above the platter, confronting Salome with a gaze that is both accusatory and sorrowful. Salome is depicted with an expression of mixed fascination and horror, capturing the complex emotions of the moment.

The painting is a masterful example of Moreau's symbolic and visionary art, where he combines elements of the real and the fantastic. His use of watercolor in "L'Apparition" allows for a luminous quality that enhances the ethereal and otherworldly atmosphere of the scene. The intricate patterns and rich ornamentation in the work reflect Moreau's interest in the exotic and the decorative, which is characteristic of his style.

"L'Apparition" is held in high regard for its contribution to the Symbolist movement and its influence on later artists. The painting is part of the collection at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, France, where it continues to be studied and admired for its complex symbolism, technical mastery, and its evocative portrayal of mythological and religious themes.
