Scenario Background - Sunday 10th April 1892. Paris, France.
The Belle Epoque, a period of peace across Europe in which scientific discoveries and technological advancements are being made amidst emerging artistic fashions. In Paris, the arts are flourishing.
The Salon de la Rose + Croix, is a new art and music salon, which has been hosted by Josephin Peladan. Running from 10th March to 10th April 1892, with the center of the exhibition being the Durand-Ruel Gallery at 11 Rue le Peletier, in the 9th arrondissement Paris. Several galleries and opera houses can be found in the district. It is the beating heart of the artistic community in the city.
The Salon de la Rose + Croix emerged from the Mystic Order of the Rose + Croix, which was also of Peladan's creation. The Mystic Order is a religious, almost cult-like, movement created in Paris after Peladan left a Martinist order. The majority of the Salon's artists are comprised of Symbolist painters, writers, and composers that are coming to prominence at this time.
Peladan himself is a well-known art critic who celebrates the works of artists who focus on the themes of myths, dreams, and allegory. The core of Peladan's doctrine is that art should be of an esoteric flavor. He hopes that this new wave of art might eventually overcome what he sees as "European materialism" exemplified by the influential artists of the Academie des Beaux-Arts that continue to support Impressionism. The Salon de la Rose + Croix is the vehicle by which he hopes to make this dream a reality.
