About the piece
Painted in 1890, this work by French artist Odilon Redon is a hallmark of the Symbolist movement. The painting depicts the mythological figure of Icarus in a moment of quiet drama, holding a vibrant red bowl against an atmospheric sky rendered in luminous, textured layers of gold and green. It exemplifies Redon's unique ability to transform myth into a dreamlike, internal vision.
