Symbolism was a late nineteenth-century art movement of French, Russian and Belgian origin in poetry and other arts. The name "symbolist" itself was first applied by the critic Jean MorĂ©as, who invented the term to distinguish the symbolists from the related decadents of literature and of art. Distinct from, but related to, the style of literature, symbolism of art is related to the gothic component of Romanticism.
