Chapel and Pilgrim's Hospice at Harambeltz (Basses-Pyrenees) 1866

Odilon Redon’s 1866 etching, *Chapel and Pilgrim’s Hospice at Harambeltz (Basses-Pyrenees)*, is a detailed portrayal of the hospice in the French Pyrenees mountains. The artwork depicts a somber landscape with a lone figure standing in the foreground, likely a pilgrim. The scene is dominated by the stone buildings of the hospice, set against a dramatic, cloudy sky. Redon is known for his use of chiaroscuro, a technique that contrasts light and dark, which creates a sense of depth and mystery in this work. This etching is a prime example of Redon’s early style, which often focused on realistic subjects with a hint of symbolism.
