My Dream 1883

"My Dream" is an etching by Rodolphe Bresdin, a French artist known for his detailed and often fantastical imagery. Created in 1883, this artwork depicts a nighttime scene with a mysterious cityscape and a towering spire silhouetted against a cloudy sky. The composition is dense, with a sense of depth and movement, showcasing Bresdin's masterful use of light and shadow. "My Dream" exemplifies Bresdin's unique style, blending elements of Romanticism and Symbolism, and is a powerful example of his ability to evoke atmosphere and mystery through his prints. The work is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago.
