## Commentary

Woman with Wild Flowers 1895-98 Charcoal and pastel on paper, 520 x 375 mm The Hermitage, St. Petersburg Redon, one of the most striking exponents of French Symbolism, was often inspired by literary plots and impressions. he maintained contact with writers, including a friendship with Stéphane Mallarmé. In this pastel, it is possible to detect echoes of Shakespeare&#39;s Ophelia, a theme to which he returned repeatedly. The model also bears a resemblance to Redon&#39;s wife, Camille, who inspired the majority of his female images.
