About the piece

Painted around 1909, this work by Odilon Redon transforms the traditional subject of Saint George and the Dragon into a visionary Symbolist masterpiece. The composition is anchored by a luminous red sun-like form that casts an otherworldly glow over the churning sea and the dramatic confrontation between the knight on his white charger and the dark, coiled serpent. The piece showcases Redon's unique ability to merge classical mythology with a modern, emotive sense of color and form.
