About the piece

Created around 1910, this ethereal work by Odilon Redon captures a whimsical scene of butterflies in flight. A leading figure in the Symbolist movement, Redon transitioned from his dark 'noirs' to a world of luminous color late in his career. This piece exemplifies his later style, using a radiant palette of sky blues and earthy ochres to create a sense of poetic mystery and natural beauty.
