EDITORS COMMENTS
Une femme revêtue du Soleil," or "A woman clothed with the sun," is an evocative and enigmatic lithograph created by French artist Odilon Redon in 1899. This work of art, now a cherished piece of heritage in the annals of art history, is a testament to Redon's mastery of the lithographic medium and his profound exploration of the mystical and biblical realms. The image portrays a woman, draped in the radiant rays of the sun, her ethereal figure evoking both the Madonna and the Biblical figure of John the Apostle, also known as John of Patmos, the author of the Book of Revelation. The woman's enigmatic expression and the swirling, celestial background suggest a connection to the apocalyptic visions described in the Bible. The lithograph, executed in black and white, is a stunning example of the artist's use of chine collé, a technique that involves adhering a thin sheet of paper to the printing plate to create a textured effect. The result is a rich, grey tonality that adds depth and dimension to the image, further emphasizing the fantastical and otherworldly nature of the scene. This work of art has been exhibited in galleries and art centers around the world, inspiring generations of artists and art lovers with its imaginative depiction of the divine and the celestial. The enduring appeal of "Une femme revêtue du Soleil" lies in its ability to transport the viewer to a realm of wonder and contemplation, inviting us to ponder the mysteries of the universe and the power of the human imagination. Whether viewed through the lens of art history, astronomy, or theology, this hauntingly beautiful lithograph by Odilon Redon continues to captivate and inspire, reminding us of the enduring power of the arts to transport us to new realms of understanding and wonder.
