This modern Symbolist masterpiece was created by Odilon Redon in the early years of the twentieth century.

The boy could not control the divine steeds and eventually was tossed from the chariot and plunged to his death. 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.
