"I am still the great Isis! None has yet lifted my veil! My fruit is the Sun!" (plate 16) is a lithograph by Odilon Redon from 1896. This work exemplifies Redon's fascination with symbolism and the exploration of the subconscious. The depiction of a veiled female figure shrouded in darkness, hints at the hidden mysteries and the power of the feminine, while the inscription relates to the Egyptian goddess Isis. The artist’s use of soft, hazy forms and a limited color palette contribute to the evocative atmosphere of this print. This work is part of Redon’s series "In the Night," which captures the essence of dreamlike imagery and the transition between darkness and light.
