More about this artwork

Welcome to our online gallery, where we are proud to feature the distinguished work "Portrait of A.M.L. Bonger-van der Linden," created in 1905 by the eminent Symbolist artist, Odilon Redon.This portrait captivates with its delicate nuances and tender representation of A.M.L. Bonger-van der Linden, portraying her in a poised, seated position. The soft, warm hues enveloping the subject exude a sense of calm and prestige. Redon’s masterful use of light and shadow intricately reveals the textures of Bonger-van der Linden's attire, especially noticeable in the elaborate detailing of her lace blouse and the luxurious fur stole draped over her shoulders.Redon's technique, often characterized by an ethereal quality, lends a serene dignity to his sitter that transcends the simplicity of the composition. His spare use of color, focusing on earth tones, enhances the contemplative mood of the painting.This painting not only exemplifies Redon's skillful portrayal of human figures but also reflects the cultural and aesthetic standards of his era, making it a significant piece in the study of early 20th-century art.

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.
