More about this artwork

"Mephistopheles" (1877) is a compelling work by French artist Odilon Redon that delves into the darker, more mystic aspects of human nature and folklore. This detailed portrait is steeped in an intense and somber aura, depicting the titular character, Mephistopheles, from the classic German legend recounted in Goethe's "Faust". Mephistopheles is a demon or the devil himself, who makes a pact with Faust, leading him away from paths of good throughout the tale.Redon's interpretation captures this unearthly figure in a human guise, yet imbued with an otherworldly presence. The figure appears contemplative, almost calculating, with a direct gaze that challenges the viewer. His subtle yet eerie expression, combined with the intricate lines and monochromatic hues, evokes a sense of both allure and malice. The use of subtle shading and a keen attention to detail in the facial features enhances the mystical quality of this portrait, making Mephistopheles appear both human and supernatural.This artwork serves not only as a depiction of a literary character but also as an exploration of the themes of temptation, knowledge, and moral ambiguity.

Artist
Odilon Redon
All Artworks

Odilon Redon was a French symbolist painter, printmaker, draughtsman and pastellist. Early in his career, both before and after fighting in the Franco-Prussian War, he worked almost exclusively in charcoal and lithography, works referred to as noirs. 

During the 1890s he began working in pastel and oils, which quickly became his favourite medium, abandoning his previous style of noirs completely after 1900. He also developed a keen interest in Hindu and Budhist religion and culture, which increasingly showed in his work.

He is perhaps best known today for the "dreamlike" paintings created in the first decade of the 20th century, which were heavily inspired by Japanese art and which, while continuing to take inspiration from nature, heavily flirted with abstraction. His work is considered a precursor to both Dadaism and Surrealism.
