EDITORS COMMENTS
(And he had in his right hand seven stars; and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword), 1899 is a captivating lithograph by the renowned French artist Odilon Redon. This masterpiece, created towards the end of the 19th century, is a profound depiction of the Apostle St. John the Divine, also known as John of Patmos, as described in the Book of Revelation in the New Testament. Redon's imaginative interpretation of the biblical figure showcases St. John in a mystical setting. The artist portrays John as a fantastical figure, with seven stars in his right hand and a sharp, two-edged sword emerging from his mouth. The use of black and white tones adds an antique and historic feel to the artwork, further emphasizing its connection to the Christian heritage. This lithograph is a testament to the rich cultural history of France and European art. It is a conceptual representation of the apocalyptic visions described in the Book of Revelation, which has fascinated artists, theologians, and scholars for centuries. The figure of St. John, often referred to as the Evangelist or the Revelator, is a significant symbol in Christianity, representing divine inspiration and the power of the word. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC, is one of the many esteemed art institutions that have showcased this work. It is a reminder of the enduring influence of the arts and the power of the imagination to bring biblical stories to life. Redon's Et il avait dans sa main droit sept etoiles, et de sa bouche sortait une epee aigue a deux tranchants is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, the Bible, or the mystical and fantastical.
