拍品专文

Within Odilon Redon's dark and melancholic printed oeuvre, this image of the divine winged horse Pegasus surrounded by an aureole of light is a remarkably uplifting work. Pinsky, Rosen and Mackenzie thought it might be symbolic of the recovery of his country several years after the defeat in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71. The 1890s in France, the height of the Belle Époque, were a period of optimism and renewed confidence.

It appears that Redon and the printer had envisaged an edition of fifty, but but the actual print-run did not exceed 25 impressions and a few trial proofs.
