EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Pegasus and Bellerophon" by Odilon Redon transports viewers into the realm of Greek mythology. Created in 1888, this piece showcases Redon's mastery of various mediums such as charcoal, water wash, white chalk, and conte crayon on buff papier bleute. The artwork measures 53.7x36.1 cm and is housed in the prestigious Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. The image depicts the mythical hero Bellerophon riding atop Pegasus, the winged horse. With its wild mane flowing freely and majestic wings spread wide, Pegasus exudes a sense of untamed power and grace. Bellerophon holds onto his mount with determination as they soar through an ethereal landscape. Redon's post-impressionist style adds depth to this classical scene, infusing it with symbolism that transcends time. The artist skillfully captures both the physicality of these mythological figures and their symbolic significance within ancient Greek culture. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, we are reminded of the enduring allure of myths and legends throughout history. It serves as a testament to our fascination with fantastical creatures like Pegasus and heroes like Bellerophon who dared to challenge fate itself. This print is not only a celebration of artistic talent but also an invitation to explore our own imaginations and embrace the timeless stories that continue to captivate us today.
