Descripción
A delicate lithograph by Odilon Redon depicting the Valkyrie Brünnhilde in a quiet, introspective profile view.
Odilon Redon produced this lithograph, titled Brünnhilde, during a period when his work shifted from the dark, macabre imagery of his early 'noirs' towards a more ethereal and light-filled aesthetic. The subject is the Valkyrie from Richard Wagner's operatic cycle, Der Ring des Nibelungen. Redon captures the figure in profile, a compositional choice that lends the work a sense of classical stillness and timelessness.
The artist employs a delicate, soft-focus technique characteristic of his lithographic practice. By layering fine marks, he creates a luminous quality that seems to emanate from the paper itself. The figure of Brünnhilde is rendered with a quiet, introspective expression, her gaze directed away from the viewer. Her long, flowing hair is depicted with light, rhythmic lines that contrast with the more solid, shadowed areas of her profile and the background.
Redon was deeply influenced by music and literature, often drawing inspiration from the works of Wagner, Poe, and Mallarmé. In this print, he avoids the literal narrative of the opera, choosing instead to evoke the psychological state of the character. The inclusion of a small, delicate flower to the left of the figure introduces a subtle, organic element that balances the composition. This work demonstrates Redon's ability to translate complex literary themes into visual form through suggestion and atmosphere rather than explicit detail. The print reflects the Symbolist interest in the dreamlike and the subjective, prioritising internal experience over external reality. It remains a fine example of his technical mastery of the lithographic medium, showcasing his control over tone and texture to achieve a sense of mystery.

Artist Biography
Odilon Redon
Redon's father made his fortune in the slave trade in Louisiana in the 1830s. The boy was conceived in New Orleans and born in Bordeaux in 1840. His parents sent him to live with an uncle on a rural estate at Peyrelebade, where he spent most of his childhood alone. He was sickly and withdrawn. The isolation produced someone who looked inward when he drew.
For the first two decades of his career he worked exclusively in black: charcoal drawings and lithographs he called his noirs. Floating eyeballs, severed heads with closed lids, spiders with human faces, plants that grow teeth. The images are hallucinatory but precisely rendered, closer to medical illustration than fantasy. He published his first lithograph album, Dans le Reve, in 1879. Nobody noticed.
Recognition came sideways. In 1884, Joris-Karl Huysmans published A rebours, a novel about a reclusive aesthete who decorates his rooms with Redon's prints. The book became a cult text for the Symbolist movement and Redon became famous by association. Stephane Mallarme, the Symbolist poet, became a close friend. Redon also completed a series of lithographs dedicated to Edgar Allan Poe, whose poems Mallarme and Baudelaire had translated into French.
After 1900 he stopped making noirs entirely and shifted to colour: pastels and oils of flowers, mythological figures and butterflies in palettes that anticipate Matisse. The transition was so complete that the Surrealists later claimed the black work while the Fauves claimed the colour, and neither group seemed to notice they were talking about the same person.
He studied under Jean-Leon Gerome at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, which is an unlikely pairing: Gerome painted Roman gladiators with photographic precision. Redon painted eyeballs attached to balloons. Goya and Delacroix were the influences that actually stuck.
