Christ on the Cross 1897

Odilon Redon's "Christ on the Cross," a charcoal and pastel drawing from 1897, depicts a shadowy figure of Christ crucified against a hazy, ethereal background. The composition is characterized by a sense of weightlessness and mystery, contrasting the traditional iconography of the subject with Redon's distinctive symbolist style. This work is a testament to the artist's exploration of the spiritual and psychological realms, a hallmark of his artistic output.
