Cain and Abel 1886

"Cain and Abel" (1886) is a lithograph by the French symbolist artist Odilon Redon. Depicting the biblical story of Cain murdering Abel, Redon captures a moment of intense emotion through his signature, haunting style. The stark lines and contrasts of black and white enhance the drama of the scene. This is a classic example of Redon's mastery of the lithographic medium, and is considered a seminal work in Symbolist art.
