La Peur (Fear) is a 1865 ink by Odilon Redon, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This print shows a dark, stormy landscape with jagged, towering cliffs. In the foreground, a lone rider on horseback leans forward, as if fleeing something unseen. The sky is heavy with clouds, and the waves crash wildly against the rocks below. The artist used sharp lines and deep shadows to create tension and movement. Notice how the horse’s muscles look tense—this isn’t just a calm ride. Want to see more work like this? Check out etching for details on how prints like this were made.
