About the piece

Created in 1909 by French Symbolist master Odilon Redon, this work captures the mythological figure of Apollo steering his chariot through a radiant atmosphere. The composition features a striking contrast between the earthy tones of the landscape and the brilliant, textured blues of the heavens, demonstrating Redon's unique ability to blend the material and the visionary.
