Untitled, plate from Je regardais et je vis... 1896

This is a black and white lithograph by Jean Caldain, part of the series "Je regardais et je vis…" created in 1896. The print depicts a nightmarish scene of a skull-like creature, with three eyes, coiling over a body of water with a moon shining in the distance. Caldain uses a dark, somber palette to create an unsettling atmosphere. The artwork is considered part of the Symbolist movement, known for its exploration of the subconscious and the macabre. "Untitled, plate from Je regardais et je vis…" is a powerful and haunting reminder of the darkness that lies within the human psyche.
