エトルリアの花瓶と花
1900-1910
Odilon Redon transforms a simple still life into a dreamlike vision, blending an ancient-style vase with a wild, fantastical bouquet of oversized blooms, feathers, and a delicate butterfly. Created during his Symbolist phase, this piece ditches realistic botany for pure imagination, using earthy browns and striking purples to create a mysterious, almost magical atmosphere. The vase itself, decorated with shadowy figures, anchors the floating, ethereal arrangement, showing how Redon moved from his earlier dark charcoal works to these vibrant masterpieces later in life. It’s a perfect example of how Symbolist artists cared more about the feeling and mystery of an object than its exact physical appearance.
