The Cyclops (Redon) (1914)
The Cyclops (French: Le Cyclope) is a symbolist painting by Odilon Redon that depicts the myth of the love of Polyphemus for the nymph Galatea. It was painted in oil on cardboard, then mounted on wood, and is now in the Kröller-Müller Museum in the Netherlands. The painting has been variously dated between 1898 and 1914. Galatea is shown asleep on the lower right, her naked body blending into the flowery hill slope. In the upper half of the painting, the head and shoulders of the cyclops Polyphemus tower above a mountain ridge as he turns his one eye in the naiad's direction.

Le Silence
Vase of Flowers (1905)
Known for his dark, velvety charcoal drawings and lithographs, Redon began working predominantly in oil and pastel after 1900, thus enlisting color in his explorations of the world of dreams and the imagination. Like other Symbolists, Redon searched for alternative experiences beyond the rational logic of Naturalism and Impressionism. He used his knowledge of botany as a starting point for this painting, but infused the flowers with heightened luminosity and sensuous form.
