1888
unspecified
From the collection of Kröller-Müller Museum
Pégase et l'hydre is a 1888 unspecified by Odilon Redon, held at Kröller-Müller Museum.
The painting depicts a large green bird with a long tail and a small head, facing to the right. In the bottom left corner, a small creature with a long snout and a fluffy body is visible. The background is a mix of brown, yellow, and red hues. The artist's use of muted colors and loose brushstrokes creates a dreamlike atmosphere, drawing the viewer's attention to the central bird figure. The contrast between the bird's vibrant green plumage and the duller surroundings adds depth to the composition. To explore more works by the same artist, look up Odilon Redon.
Born Bertrand-Jean Redon on 20 April 1840 in Bordeaux, the artist adopted the name Odilon from his mother, Marie-Odile.
