"L'Envol" (The Flight) is a symbolist painting by Swiss artist Carlos Schwabe (1866–1926). Created in 1906, this artwork is emblematic of Schwabe's preoccupation with themes of spirituality, mysticism, and the ethereal. The painting is a visual representation of the soul's ascent, a common motif in Symbolist art, which sought to express the ineffable aspects of human experience through allegory and dreamlike imagery.

In "L'Envol," Schwabe depicts a central figure, often interpreted as an angel or a spiritual being, surrounded by a host of cherubic children and set against a backdrop that suggests a celestial realm. The use of soft, diffused light and a palette dominated by pastel hues enhances the otherworldly atmosphere of the piece. The figures are rendered with a sense of fluidity and grace, capturing the moment of transcendence as they rise heavenward.

Schwabe's work is characterized by its fine draftsmanship and attention to detail, qualities that are evident in "L'Envol." The painting's composition, with its flowing lines and ethereal figures, reflects the influence of Art Nouveau, which was at its height during the time Schwabe was active. Moreover, the spiritual and symbolic content aligns with the broader Symbolist movement, which included contemporaries such as Gustave Moreau and Odilon Redon.

"L'Envol" is considered a significant work within Schwabe's oeuvre and the Symbolist movement as a whole. It encapsulates the period's fascination with the otherworldly and the transcendent, offering viewers a glimpse into the spiritual preoccupations of the fin de siècle. The painting remains an important example of early 20th-century art and continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and its place within the context of Symbolist ideals.
