The Apocalypse of Saint John - And His Name That Sat on Him Was Death, 1899
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a hauntingly beautiful lithograph created by the French artist Odilon Redon. This late 19th-century masterpiece depicts a scene from the Book of Revelation, where Death rides upon a pale horse, bringing destruction and chaos to the world. Redon's mastery of color and form is evident in this print, as he skillfully captures the eerie atmosphere and sense of impending doom. The dark hues create an ominous backdrop against which Death stands out with his skeletal figure draped in flowing robes. The horse beneath him seems almost ethereal, its ghostly presence adding to the otherworldly feel of the composition. As we gaze at this artwork, we are reminded of our mortality and confronted with questions about life's fragility. Redon's interpretation invites us to contemplate our own existence and ponder what lies beyond death. This lithograph is part of a series inspired by "The Apocalypse of Saint John" showcasing Redon's fascination with spiritual themes and his ability to convey complex emotions through visual imagery. It serves as a testament to his artistic genius and enduring legacy. Displayed at The Cleveland Museum of Art, this print allows viewers to experience firsthand Redon's unique vision and technical prowess. Its inclusion in Heritage Art/Heritage Images' collection ensures that future generations can appreciate this significant work for years to come.
