{"product_id":"oannes-plate-14-odilon-redon","title":"Oannès (Plate 14) - Odilon Redon","description":"\u003cp\u003eA haunting lithograph by Odilon Redon from his 1896 portfolio, depicting the mythological figure Oannès emerging from the abyss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis lithograph is plate 14 from the portfolio 'La Tentation de Saint Antoine', published in 1896. Odilon Redon, a central figure in the Symbolist movement, explored the internal world of dreams and the subconscious through his 'noirs', a series of charcoal drawings and lithographs defined by their deep, velvety blacks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this work, Redon depicts Oannès, a mythological figure of Babylonian origin. The composition emerges from a void of darkness, where the figure appears as a hybrid entity, part human and part aquatic creature. The face is rendered with a serene, closed-eyed expression, suggesting a state of meditation or detachment from the physical realm. The body coils into a circular form, merging with the surrounding shadows. Redon uses the lithographic medium to create a range of textures, from the dense, light-absorbing black background to the softer, grey tones that define the figure's features.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRedon's approach to this subject reflects his interest in the mysterious and the irrational. Rather than providing a literal illustration of the text, he creates an atmospheric response to the concept of primordial consciousness. The figure of Oannès, as described in the accompanying caption, represents the emergence of order from chaos. The work invites the viewer to contemplate the origins of form and the nature of existence. By focusing on the interplay between light and shadow, Redon achieves a sense of depth that feels psychological rather than spatial. This print is a characteristic example of his ability to evoke the uncanny through technical mastery of lithography.\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=\"\/sv\/products\/attraction-i-edvard-munch-1\" 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;\"\u003eAttraction I - Edvard Munch — Edvard Munch\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/sv\/products\/arbeider-met-brandende-fakkel-en-opgeheven-vinger-richard-nicolaus-roland-holst\" 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;\"\u003eArbeider met brandende fakkel en opgeheven vinger - Richard Nicolaüs Roland Holst — Richard Roland Holst\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":58861604208975,"sku":null,"price":28.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58861644251471,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58861644284239,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":58861644317007,"sku":null,"price":50.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":58861644349775,"sku":null,"price":55.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Oann-s-Plate-14-_Poster_CompositorV1_1790149243684.jpg?v=1790150145","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.co.uk\/sv\/products\/oannes-plate-14-odilon-redon","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
