EDITORS COMMENTS
- Revelation 9:1 This evocative lithograph, "Apres cela je vis descendre du ciel un ange qui avait la clef de l'abime, et une grande chaine en sa main" (After this I saw an angel coming down from heaven, having the key to the abyss and a great chain in his hand), is a masterpiece by the French artist Odilon Redon, created in 1899. The image, steeped in biblical symbolism and apocalyptic imagery, is a captivating depiction of the angel St. John the Divine's vision from the Book of Revelation in the New Testament. The black and white lithograph, reminiscent of an antique print, transports us to a mystical realm of darkness and light. The angel, with his ethereal wings spread wide, descends from the heavens, holding the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain in his hand. The figure is rendered in intricate detail, from the folds of his robes to the delicate lines of his wings. The use of contrasting shades of grey adds depth and texture to the image, creating an otherworldly atmosphere. The lithograph is a testament to Redon's mastery of the medium, as he expertly employs the techniques of lithotint and chiaroscuro to bring the fantastical scene to life. This work of art is a precious addition to any collection of historic and cultural art, showcasing the rich heritage of French art and the enduring influence of Christian iconography. The image is a thought-provoking and visually stunning representation of the apocalyptic visions described in the Bible, inviting us to explore the depths of our imagination and the mysteries of the divine. Whether displayed in a private art gallery or a public exhibition, this lithograph is sure to captivate and inspire, inviting us to ponder the mysteries of the universe and the power of the human imagination.
