抄録

In 1898 French painter, Gustave Moreau (1826-1898) left his residence and all its belongings as a bequest to the state for the purpose of making a national museum which could show his whole life as a painter. Thanks to the laborious efforts of his friend Henry Rupp, Gustave Moreau Museum was inaugurated in 1903 as the first national museum of an individual painter. In this museum, therefore, there are lots of study papers, cartons, documents as well as unfinished works. This essay will introduce his three drawing albums called “Etudes Orientales" for the first time as their whole contents. The Painter himself wrote the titles and dates on the covers of two of them. They contains his study-drawings of oriental arts such as Indian miniature paintings and Japanese woodcut prints, that he referred assiduously in some libraries, museums, and art exhibitions which he had visited. We can also find lots of his tracing of Hokusai Manga he came to own around 1880. The last album nontitled shows us his enthusiastic study of a far-eastern art exhibition which was held at the moment of International Congress of Oriental study specialists in 1873. These studies seemed to give not a little influence to his masterpieces such as `Salome dancing before King Herode'. The three albums inform us to what extent this French painter was indulged in the charms of oriental art including our Japanese one. They are precious documents to tell us how he was inspired by his Oriental studies.
