"The Peri (The Sacred Elephant; The Sacred Lake)" is a notable work by the French Symbolist painter Gustave Moreau, created between 1881 and 1882. This painting is one of Moreau's explorations into the exotic and mythological themes that pervade his oeuvre, reflecting his interest in the mystical and the otherworldly. The term "peri" refers to a type of exquisite, winged fairy-like spirit in Persian mythology, often described as fallen angels seeking redemption. Moreau's depiction is likely inspired by these mythical beings, which align with his fascination with the spiritual and the supernatural.

The painting presents a rich tapestry of color and intricate detail, characteristic of Moreau's style, which combines the academic precision of the neoclassical tradition with the imaginative freedom of the Symbolist movement. "The Peri" features a blend of architectural elements, fantastical creatures, and a dream-like atmosphere, inviting viewers into a world beyond the mundane.

Moreau's work often delves into the themes of temptation, redemption, and the divine, and "The Peri" is no exception. The painting may be interpreted as an allegory of the human quest for spiritual enlightenment or as a commentary on the allure of the forbidden and the unknown. The inclusion of the sacred elephant and lake in the title suggests a scene imbued with religious or spiritual significance, possibly alluding to the crossing of a threshold or a moment of transformation.

As with many of Moreau's paintings, "The Peri" is likely to be housed in a museum or private collection, contributing to the artist's legacy as a pivotal figure in the Symbolist movement. His work has been influential in shaping the direction of modern art, inspiring future generations of artists to explore the symbolic and the surreal in their own creative endeavors. "The Peri" stands as a testament to Moreau's unique vision and his ability to capture the ethereal and the enigmatic on canvas.
