Je t'adore a l'égal de la voûte nocturne. O vase de tristesse, o grande taciturne
EDITORS COMMENTS
(I adore you as I adore the vault of the night sky, O vessel of sadness, O tall silent woman), 1890, is a captivating lithograph created by the renowned French artist Odilon Redon. This stunning work of art, a part of the rich heritage of 19th-century art, transports us to a mystical realm where the boundaries between reality and imagination blur. The monochromatic image, featuring a tall, silent woman with a melancholic expression, is set against the backdrop of a star-studded night sky. The woman, depicted in head and shoulders, is shown holding a vase, her eyes gazing up at the heavens with a sense of longing and reverence. The title of the work, inspired by the poetry of Charles Pierre Baudelaire, adds an extra layer of depth and meaning to the piece. Redon's masterful use of lithography, a printing technique that involves drawing on a limestone plate, is evident in the intricate details of the woman's features and the textured depiction of the night sky. The contrast between the white and black elements creates a striking visual effect, further emphasizing the mystical and fantastical nature of the scene. This lithograph is a testament to Redon's skill as a Symbolist artist, known for his exploration of the unconscious mind and the supernatural. The work invites viewers to contemplate the depths of human emotion and the mysteries of the universe, making it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art and literature. On display at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., "Je t'adore a l'égal de la voûte nocturne. O vase de tristesse, o grande taciturne" is a timeless masterpiece that continues to captivate and inspire audiences today. Whether viewed as a standalone work or as part of a larger exhibition, this lithograph is sure to leave a lasting impression.
