EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Odilon Redon's masterpiece, "Siren, c. 1900". Painted with oil and gold powder on fibreboard, this artwork measures 27 x 22 cm and is housed in the prestigious Kunstmuseum in Basel, Switzerland. In Greek mythology, the Sirens were mythical creatures known for their enchanting music and mesmerizing singing voices that lured unsuspecting sailors to their doom on the treacherous rocky coast of their island. This painting beautifully captures the essence of these seductive yet dangerous beings. Redon's post-impressionist style brings a touch of fantasy to this classical mythological subject. The mermaid-like figure emerges from the depths of the ocean amidst crashing waves and jagged rocks, symbolizing both danger and enchantment. The artist skillfully uses symbolism to convey a sense of mystery and intrigue. The Siren's alluring presence against a backdrop of swirling water evokes a romantic atmosphere while also hinting at her evil intentions. This piece exemplifies Redon's mastery in depicting ethereal spirits within his unique artistic vision. As you gaze upon this remarkable print, let yourself be transported into an otherworldly realm where myths come alive through brushstrokes. Immerse yourself in the timeless allure of this iconic painting by one of France's most celebrated post-impressionist artists - Odilon Redon.
