Saint-Antoine...A travers ses longs cheveux qui lui couvraient la figure, j'ai cru reconnaitre
EDITORS COMMENTS
(Saint Anthony: "Beneath her long hair, which covered her face, I thought I recognized Ammonaria"), is an evocative and enigmatic lithograph created by the renowned French artist Odilon Redon in 1889. This artwork, a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the 19th century, is now a cherished artifact in the vast collection of the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. Redon, a master of the Symbolist movement, is known for his fantastical and mystical depictions of figures and scenes that defy conventional interpretation. In this lithograph, he presents Saint Anthony, a prominent Christian figure, in an unexpected and intriguing light. The saint, traditionally portrayed as a hermit and defender against temptation, is here shown with long, flowing hair that conceals his face, leaving only the suggestion of his features visible. The figure that emerges from beneath the hair is identified as Ammonaria, though the exact nature of their connection remains a subject of debate among art historians and critics. The monochromatic palette of black and white lends an air of timelessness and gravity to the image, while the use of bold lines and intricate details adds depth and texture. The overall effect is one of both mystery and allure, inviting the viewer to ponder the deeper meanings and symbolism hidden within the artwork. This lithograph, a product of Redon's rich imagination, continues to captivate and inspire audiences today, offering a glimpse into the fantastical world of one of France's most celebrated artists. Whether viewed as a work of historical significance or a source of personal inspiration, "Saint-Antoine...A travers ses longs cheveux qui lui couvraient la figure, j'ai cru reconnaitre" remains a must-see addition to any art gallery or collection.
