Vision 1879

"Vision" is a lithograph by the French symbolist artist Odilon Redon, created in 1879. This work is a quintessential example of Redon's exploration of the mystical and subconscious, often exploring themes of dreams, imagination, and the power of the unseen. The work portrays a large, luminous eye, emitting beams of light, seen by two shadowy figures in the foreground. The eye, symbolic of perception and the soul, is the central element of this piece, drawing the viewer into a world of spiritual contemplation and symbolic imagery.
