Salon de la Rose + Croix.

Six exhibitions (1892–7) in Paris, organized by JOSÉPHIN PÉLADAN and his followers. They were a major focal point of the occultist and Catholic tendencies in French Symbolist art, growing out of the Ordre de la Rose + Croix du Temple et du Graal ou de la Rose + Croix Catholique, founded by Péladan to promote the esoteric within Catholicism and to conquer materialism within modern society. The Salons de la Rose + Croix were conceived and presented by Péladan as gestes esthétiques, a synthesis of the visual arts, literature and music in the spirit of Richard Wagner, whom Péladan venerated, and echoing the Chansons de geste of medieval literature.
