Odilon Redon was one of the most prominent figures among the Symbolist circle. His work was mostly inspired from his emotions and imagination, and it consisted of common Symbolist subjects, such as monsters, severed heads, femme fatales, and unique representations of classical mythology. He also invented creatures, which came from scientific materials viewed through a microscope. One can look at the life of Redon and come up with the conclusion that he was the most consistent and devoted of the Symbolist artists. His first inspiration was at a family estate called Peyreblade. It was just outside the city of Bordeaux where Redon was born. His father had made a fortune in Louisiana, and left Redon in the care of an old uncle at the Peyreblade estate. It was there that the young Redon’s imagination was haunted.
