Odilon Redon's 1891 lithograph, "And over there, the Astral Idol, the Apotheosis," features a cloaked figure holding a bow and arrow within a circular frame. The figure's face is obscured by the hood, and its body is nearly entirely engulfed by the circular form, creating an ethereal, otherworldly atmosphere. This work reflects Redon's fascination with dreams, symbolist imagery, and the mystical, characteristic of his "black" period. This lithograph is a stunning example of Redon's mastery of line and texture, conveying a sense of both depth and flatness within the composition.
