Saint Anthony and Two Temptresses

Odilon Redon, 1896–1900

This is a drawing of a crucifixion scene with a figure on the cross and another figure nearby. The drawing is done using bold and expressive lines. The figure on the left is depicted with arms raised, nailed to a cross, with the suggestion of a crown of thorns resting above the forehead. The second figure is shown standing with a somber expression, draped with a robe or veil that flows to the ground. Another smaller figure is shown at the feet of the standing figure. The minimal lines create a dramatic impact, emphasizing the gravity of the scene.
