More about this artwork

Odilon Redon, a master of the Symbolist movement, captures a compelling narrative in "Cheval emballé d'après Géricault." This drawing, which references the work of the Romantic painter Théodore Géricault, showcases a spirited horse in mid-gallop, encapsulating a moment of intense movement and raw energy. The detailed rendering of the horse, particularly its flaring nostrils and flowing mane, exemplifies Redon's skill in conveying visceral emotion and dynamism.In this piece, Redon interprets Géricault's fascination with the majesty and power of horses. The artwork is characterized by its vigorous brush strokes and a keen attention to form, which brings the animal to life on the paper. Notably unfinished, the sketch includes faint outlines of a rider, suggesting a moment captured in haste, adding to the overall impression of urgency and movement."Cheval emballé d'après Géricault" not only pays homage to Géricault's thematic elements but also emphasizes Redon's unique ability to blend inspiration from past art with his own symbolic and dream-like aesthetic.

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.
