More about this artwork

Welcome to a glimpse into the mystical world of Odilon Redon, where enigma and soft, ethereal beauty converge in the artwork titled "L'infante" from 1880. This painting invites viewers into a unique visual experience, showcasing Redon’s masterful blend of ambiguity and delicate form.In "L'infante," we are presented with a profile portrait of a young figure, seemingly floating within a dreamy, undefined space. The soft, muted tones and the gentle outline suggest a fragile, almost ghostly presence, encapsulating Redon's fascination with the intangible and the subconscious. The artwork lacks sharp details, instead favoring a smudged and diffuse approach that makes the figure appear to be emerging from or dissolving into the misty background.The subtle use of light and shadow plays a crucial role in creating this sense of mystery and depth. Redon’s technique allows the viewer's eye to wander and wonder, filling in the gaps left by the artist’s minimalistic strokes. This painting is not just a visual experience but an invitation to explore the unknown, the parts of our minds that are touched by shadows and whispers."L'infante" is a testament to Redon’s ability to transcend traditional artistic norms and venture into the domain of emotional and psychological exploration. This piece is ideal for those who appreciate art that not only depicts but evokes, resonates, and lingers long after one has looked away.

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.
