Apollo's Chariot 1909

"Apollo's Chariot" (1909) by Odilon Redon depicts a fantastical scene of Apollo's chariot soaring through the clouds, pulled by three white horses. The painting, a prime example of Redon's "black and white" style, utilizes muted colors and hazy brushstrokes to create an ethereal atmosphere. Redon, known for his exploration of symbolism, encourages viewers to contemplate the celestial themes of the work. Despite being painted at the beginning of the 20th century, "Apollo's Chariot" evokes a timeless and evocative feeling, emphasizing the artist's unique and dreamlike style.
