Sacred Heart 1910

"Sacred Heart," painted in 1910 by Odilon Redon, is a powerful depiction of Christ in a state of spiritual awakening. The work is a quintessential example of Redon's late Symbolist style, characterized by its dreamlike quality and ethereal imagery. A halo of gold and orange surrounds the figure of Christ, creating an atmosphere of divine presence and transcendence. The use of soft pastels and charcoal adds to the dreamlike quality of the work, creating a sense of mystical and spiritual mystery. "Sacred Heart" is a haunting and moving work that speaks to the enduring power of faith and spirituality.
