Description
Plate
18
from
Gustave
Flaubert's
The
Temptation
of
St
.
Anthony
,
third
series
;
lithograph
[illustration]
,
printed
in
black
. "
Redon's
own
predilection
for
fantasy
and the
macabre
drew
him
naturally
into the
orbit
of
Delacroix
,
Baudelaire
, and the
nineteenth-century
Romantics
. In his
drawings
and
lithographs
,
where
he
pushed
his
rich
,
velvety
blacks
to
extreme
limits
of
expression
, he
developed
and
refined
the
fantasies
of
Bresdin
in
nightmare
visions
of
monsters
, or
tragic-romantic
themes
taken
from
mythology
or
Romantic
literature
.
Redon
was
close
to the
Symbolist
poets
, and was
almost
the
only
artist
who
was
successful
in
translating
their
words
into
visual
experiences
. He
dedicated
a
portfolio
of his
lithographs
to
Edgar
Allan
Poe
,
whose
works
had been
translated
by
Baudelaire
and
Mallarmé
, and he
interpreted
in
lithography
Gustave
Flaubert's
Temptations
of
St
.
Anthony.
