圣约翰 by Odilon Redon, circa 1910

Odilon Redon famously traded his early, spooky black charcoals for a burst of color later in life, and this glowing pastel is a perfect example of his magical shift. Here, Saint John stands bathed in golden light, seemingly stepping out of a deep blue doorway into a dreamlike, sun-drenched garden. Instead of a wild desert prophet, he looks peaceful and gentle, holding a bouquet of flowers that blends religious imagery with Redon's signature mystical vibe. It’s a quiet, spiritual moment that feels more like a beautiful dream than a traditional saintly portrait.
