"Idolon II" is a painting by Dutch artist Jan Mankes (1889–1920), who is known for his detailed and subdued works, often featuring animals, landscapes, and still lifes. Created in 1915, during a period when Mankes was heavily influenced by symbolism and mysticism, "Idolon II" exemplifies the artist's preoccupation with the spiritual representation of reality.

The term "idolon," derived from ancient Greek, can refer to a phantom image, a ghost, or an ideal. In the context of Mankes' work, it suggests a contemplative approach to the subject, imbuing it with a sense of the ethereal or otherworldly. The painting is characterized by its delicate brushwork and a muted palette, which contribute to its dreamlike quality.

Jan Mankes' work is often noted for its introspective and serene qualities, and "Idolon II" is no exception. The painting invites viewers to engage with it on a level beyond the purely visual, to consider the deeper resonances of the image presented. As with many of Mankes' pieces, "Idolon II" reflects the artist's personal vision and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects with a quiet intensity.

Despite his short life, Jan Mankes left a significant mark on Dutch art, and "Idolon II" is a testament to his unique talent and the timeless appeal of his work. The painting is held in high regard among Mankes' oeuvre and continues to be appreciated for its subtle beauty and the meditative experience it offers to viewers.
