EDITORS COMMENTS
Puis l'ange prit l'encensoir" (And the angel took the censer), is a captivating lithograph created by the renowned French artist Odilon Redon in 1899. This evocative work of art is a testament to Redon's mastery of the black and white medium, showcasing his unique ability to bring biblical stories to life with a fantastical and mystical touch. The image depicts an angel, with ethereal wings spread wide, reaching out to take a censer from the hand of the Apostle St. John the Divine. The scene is reminiscent of the Book of Revelation, where St. John, also known as John of Patmos, describes seeing an angel in heaven taking incense and offering it on the golden altar before God. Redon's interpretation of this biblical passage is both imaginative and thought-provoking. The angel's figure is rendered in delicate lines and shades of grey, creating an otherworldly atmosphere that draws the viewer in. The Apostle John, dressed in flowing robes, gazes up at the angel with a look of reverence and awe. The censer, a symbol of prayer and worship, is depicted in intricate detail, adding to the overall sense of ritual and devotion. This lithograph is a valuable addition to any art collection, particularly those focused on the 19th century, French art, or Christian and biblical themes. It is a testament to the enduring power of art to bring the stories of the past to life, and to inspire the imagination and contemplation of future generations. This work of art can be found in various art galleries and museums around the world, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. It is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that art represents, and the role it plays in shaping our understanding of history and the world around us.
