"The
central figure on the left of the ceiling arch is Moloch, god of material
things, a hideous monster above whose bead stands the sun with rays reaching

Painting of Gabriel Faure 1889 |
French
composer Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924) is widely regarded as the greatest
master of French song. Sargent met Fauré in Paris when he was living
there and studying. He fell in love with his work and would be a big supporter
of Fauré most of his life.
