Jules- Émile Zandevoort

Jules-Émile Zandevoort was a French artist associated with the Symbolist movement, which emerged in the late 19th century. Symbolism focused on expressing emotions and ideas through symbolic imagery rather than realistic representation. Zandevoort's work often depicted dreamlike scenes and mysterious figures, emphasizing mood and feeling over clear narratives. His approach aimed to evoke deep emotional responses, tapping into the subconscious and the spiritual. By using color, light, and form in innovative ways, Zandevoort contributed to a shift in art that valued personal expression and the exploration of inner experiences.
