EDITORS COMMENTS
C'est moi, Jean, qui ai vu et qui ai oï ces choses" (And I John saw these things and heard them, 1899) is a captivating lithograph by the renowned French artist Odilon Redon. This evocative work of art, created in the late 19th century, is a powerful depiction of St. John the Apostle, who is traditionally identified as the author of the Book of Revelation in the New Testament. Redon's illustration captures the mystical and otherworldly nature of John's visionary experiences. The image shows the figure of John, depicted in head and shoulders format, deep in prayer or contemplation. His gaze is fixed on an unseen horizon, as if he is witnessing the apocalyptic events foretold in the Book of Revelation. The use of black and white, or lithotint, adds to the somber and otherworldly atmosphere, further emphasizing the spiritual and transcendent nature of the scene. John is depicted as an elderly man, with a long white beard and a serious expression on his face. His head is surrounded by a halo, signifying his status as an apostle and evangelist. The background of the image is left blank, drawing the viewer's focus to the central figure. This work of art is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of France and the enduring influence of Christianity on Western art. It is a powerful reminder of the mystical and transcendent nature of religious experiences and the role of art in capturing and conveying these experiences to future generations. This lithograph is a valuable addition to any art collection, particularly those with a focus on religious or spiritual themes. It is a stunning example of Redon's mastery of the lithographic medium and his ability to convey complex ideas through simple yet powerful imagery. Whether displayed in a private home or in a public gallery, this work of art is sure to inspire awe and contemplation in all who view it.
