More about this artwork

Delve into the vivid and dreamlike world of Odilon Redon with his mesmerizing work, "Etruscan Vase with Flowers" (1900–1910). This painting captures the essence of Redon's fascination with the intersection of reality and imagination. The artwork features a central Etruscan vase intricately decorated with figures that echo ancient themes, encapsulating a profound historical resonance. The vase holds an arrangement of fantastical flowers, each bloom a burst of color and abstraction, suggesting an otherworldly charm that Redon masterfully evoked through his unique blend of hues and forms.The painting's backdrop is a textural mosaic of colors and patterns that complement the surreal flora. Shades of gold, brown, and touches of blue create a swirling atmosphere, enhancing the mystical appearance of the bouquet. A butterfly, a frequent motif in Redon's work symbolizing transformation and poetic transcendence, flutters near the vase, adding a delicate movement to the composition."Etruscan Vase with Flowers" is not merely a floral still life; it is an invitation to ponder the beauty of the mysterious and the unexplored aspects of nature and history.

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.
