Moreau was born in Paris in 1826. His father was an architect and realised his talent.Moreau initially studied under the guidance of François-Édouard Picot and became a friend of Théodore Chassériau, whose work strongly influenced his own. He was influnced by Chasseriau's Romanticism but then he developed another style that he painted mystically intense images evoking long-dead civilizations and mythologies. Consequently he became one of the most important symbolist painters.
Oedipus and the Sphinx, one of his first symbolist paintings, was exhibited at the Salon of 1864.
He became a professor at Paris' École des Beaux-Arts in 1891 and inspired other students. Moreau died in Paris and was buried there in the Cimetière de Montmartre.
