Pantheon 1910

"Pantheon" is a 1910 pastel on paper by the French Symbolist artist Odilon Redon. The work depicts a chariot pulled by four horses, ascending into a swirling, pastel-colored sky. Redon was a master of the pastel medium, and his use of color and composition here creates a dreamlike atmosphere. The work is a classic example of Redon's exploration of the subconscious mind and the power of the imagination, themes which would heavily influence other artists of his time. The work, which is now in a private collection, is thought to be inspired by the classical theme of the chariot race. Redon's "Pantheon" continues to fascinate viewers with its ethereal beauty and allegorical significance.
