Artist: Odilon Redon
Redon’s Polyphemus is not a monster but a shy giant with one enormous eye, peering over a flowering hillside at the nymph asleep below him.
Description
Description
Odilon Redon painted the cyclops late in life, around 1914, and turned him inside out. Polyphemus, the giant who ate Odysseus’ men, is here a soft golden creature with a single huge eye, rising behind a hill of flowers to gaze at the nymph Galatea, who lies asleep in the meadow below and does not know he is there. He is not frightening. He is lovesick, and enormous, and he cannot come any closer.
The story is Ovid’s, not Homer’s: the cyclops who loved a nymph and killed her lover in jealousy. Redon leaves out the ending and keeps the longing, and paints the hillside in the colours of his flower pieces, violet, green and gold. The picture is in the Kröller-Müller Museum in the Netherlands. Our hand-painted reproduction is made in oil on canvas from the original, and the eye is painted last.
