{"product_id":"pegasus-odilon-redon","title":"Pegasus - Odilon Redon","description":"\u003cp\u003eA dreamlike depiction of the mythical winged horse Pegasus, rendered in soft, luminous pastel by the French Symbolist artist Odilon Redon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOdilon Redon, a central figure in the Symbolist movement, frequently turned to classical mythology to explore the boundaries between reality and the subconscious. In this work, the mythical winged horse Pegasus stands atop a craggy, dark rock formation. The creature is rendered in soft, ethereal tones, contrasting with the rugged texture of the cliffside. Redon employs his characteristic pastel technique, building up layers of colour to create a dreamlike atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe background is a wash of atmospheric blue and green, suggesting a sky that is both celestial and otherworldly. The horse itself appears weightless, its wings partially unfurled as if ready to ascend. Unlike the academic depictions of the era, Redon focuses on the psychological presence of the subject rather than anatomical precision. The application of pastel allows for a luminous quality, particularly in the wings, which seem to catch a light source not present in the physical environment of the cliff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRedon moved away from the objective observation favoured by his contemporaries, preferring to evoke internal states through colour and form. This piece demonstrates his ability to transform a familiar mythological motif into a personal vision. The texture of the pastel is visible throughout, from the dense, dark strokes defining the rock to the lighter, more delicate marks that compose the horse and the surrounding air. By placing the figure in an ambiguous, non-specific space, Redon invites the viewer to engage with the image as a manifestation of imagination. The work remains a clear example of his transition from the monochromatic 'noirs' of his early career to the luminous, colour-saturated compositions of his later years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/fir-trees-arnold-bocklin\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eFir Trees - Arnold Böcklin — Arnold Böcklin\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/homem-do-mar-leca-antonio-carneiro\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eHomem do Mar (Leça) - António Carneiro — António Carneiro\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Odilon Redon","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58861600014671,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58861647495503,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58861647528271,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58861647561039,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58861647593807,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Pegasus_Poster_CompositorV1_1790149469373.jpg?v=1790150106","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/products\/pegasus-odilon-redon","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
