圣塞巴斯蒂安
1910
Odilon Redon transforms the gruesome martyrdom of Saint Sebastian into a mystical, dreamlike vision. A pale, nearly nude figure is bound to a massive, rust-red tree that stretches up into a swirling sky of deep blues and whites. Unlike traditional depictions filled with arrows and blood, this 1910 Symbolist masterpiece focuses on a strange, almost peaceful union between the human form and nature, with flowers blooming at the base. Redon famously abandoned his early dark, spooky charcoal drawings for vibrant colors in his later years, and this piece is a perfect example of his colorful, emotional finale.
