Biagio Marini: Passacaglia in G Minor

Odilon Redon (1840-1916), *La barque aux deux femmes blanches,* signed twice ‘ODILON REDON’ (lower right), oil on canvas, 13 x 16 3/8 in. (33 x 41.6 cm.), Image Source: Christie’s

“La barque aux deux femmes blanches is an iconic Redon seascape, the figures seemingly rapt in pensive silence, immersed in the radiance of inward visions, transported to distant unknowable realms on spectral currents of dream…Through his use of vibrant tints of color, he made the mainstay of his new work a brilliant, otherworldly fluorescence of color by which he could conjure the fleeting essence of dreams.”
