This modern Symbolist masterpiece was created by Odilon Redon in 1900. It depicts the Greek mythological figure, Pegasus, the winged steed of Perseus and Bellophoron. The image of the winged horse is a powerful one transcending many cultures. Redon did not achieve any degree of fame until 1884 when he was forty-four years old. He began to favor pastels and oils in the 1890’s until his death in 1916.
