This is a mythological painting by Odilon Redon, the French Symbolist who worked as a draughtsman, printmaker and painter. Its title, L'enlèvement de Ganymède, points to the ancient story of Ganymede being abducted. Redon painted it in oil on canvas, and it belongs to the Collection Bemberg. It is a work for anyone drawn to myth told through painting rather than drawing or print.
On your wall: It would suit a study, a sitting room or a quiet reading corner, wherever a mythological scene can invite a longer look.

Text based on Collection Bemberg.
Odilon Redon was a French artist who worked as a draughtsman, printmaker and painter. He belonged to the Symbolist movement, which favoured imagination and suggestion over straightforward description. Moving between drawing, printmaking and painting, he built a body of work that sits comfortably within that tradition and rewards slow, attentive looking.
