The Warrior Angel

The Warrior Angel, a 1900 painting by Odilon Redon, is held in the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart. The artwork measures 0.61 meters in width and 0.76 meters in height. The painting depicts a stylized, ethereal scene featuring a winged figure, possibly an angel, holding a sword. The style is characteristic of Redon's symbolic and dreamlike imagery, with soft, hazy forms rendered in muted blues and grays. The figure is not clearly defined, but rather suggested through a blend of lines and washes, creating a sense of movement and ambiguity. The overall effect is one of mystery and otherworldly atmosphere.
