  • Description: Redon, Odilon (b Bordeaux, 20 April 1840; d Paris, 6 July 1916), french printmaker, draughtsman and painter. He spent his childhood at Peyrelebade, his father's estate in the Medoc. Peyrelebade became a basic source of inspiration for all his art, providing him with both subjects from nature and a stimulus for his fantasies, and Redon returned there constantly until its enforced sale in 1897. He received his education in Bordeaux from 1851, rapidly showing talent in many art forms: he studied drawing with Stanislas Gorin (1824-1874) from 1855; in 1857 he attempted unsuccessfully to become an architect; and he also became an accomplished violinist. He developed a keen interest in contemporary literature, partly through the influence of Armand Clavaud, a botanist and thinker who became his friend and intellectual mentor.
    "The Red Sphinx" was painted in 1912 with oil on canvas. It's real measurements are: 24x19,5 inches. This incredible work of O. Redon is in ptivate collection.
