Saint Sebastian 1910

Odilon Redon's 1910 pastel drawing, *Saint Sebastian*, depicts the Christian martyr tied to a tree, surrounded by a dark and ethereal forest. Redon's use of soft, muted colors, particularly the deep blue and brown tones, creates a melancholic and dreamlike atmosphere. The saint's figure is rendered with a sense of fragility and vulnerability, highlighting the suffering he endured. Redon's *Saint Sebastian* is a powerful testament to the artist's exploration of symbolism, myth, and the human condition.
