A winged shadow looms over the title of Flaubert's Temptation

Odilon Redon (1840–1916) was a French Symbolist painter and printmaker whose dreamlike imagery occupied a world of its own — neither Impressionist nor academic, but deeply interior. His illustrations for Flaubert's Temptation of Saint Anthony translated the novel's hallucinatory visions into charcoal and lithograph with terrifying precision: monsters that feel biological, saints that look defeated, voids that feel infinite. Among the most psychologically intense book illustrations ever made.

Printed on Hahnemühle German Etching paper — the same stock museum studios use — through a twelve-ink archival pigment process that holds colour the way memory holds detail: precisely, completely. Frames are solid ash and oak, hand-made to order. Nothing between you and the image.
