"Le chevalier mystique" (also known as "Le Sphinx") is a notable work by French Symbolist artist Odilon Redon, created in the late 19th or early 20th century. Redon's oeuvre is characterized by a blend of the fantastical, the dreamlike, and the psychological, often drawing on literary, mythological, and personal themes. "Le chevalier mystique" exemplifies Redon's fascination with the enigmatic and the mystical, depicting a scene that is both haunting and evocative.

The artwork features a knight, which is a recurring motif in Redon's work, symbolizing the quest for spiritual or intellectual enlightenment. This figure is often interpreted as a representation of the artist himself or as an everyman character on a journey through the subconscious. In "Le chevalier mystique," the knight is paired with a sphinx, an ancient mythical creature known for its riddles and its association with mystery and knowledge. The interaction between the knight and the sphinx in this piece suggests a narrative of seeking and confronting the unknown.

Redon's technique often involved the use of charcoal, which he referred to as "noir," and his mastery of this medium is evident in the rich tonal contrasts and the atmospheric quality of "Le chevalier mystique." The work is also notable for its use of pastels, which Redon employed to introduce subtle color into his otherwise monochromatic compositions. The combination of these mediums contributes to the ethereal and otherworldly ambiance that is characteristic of Redon's art.

As with many of Redon's pieces, "Le chevalier mystique" is open to multiple interpretations, reflecting the artist's intention to transcend the literal and to engage the viewer's imagination. The artwork is a testament to Redon's place within the Symbolist movement and his contribution to the development of modern art, bridging the gap between the 19th-century Romantic tradition and the emerging avant-garde of the early 20th century.

"Le chevalier mystique" is held in high regard by art historians and is considered an important work within Redon's body of art. It continues to be studied for its complex symbolism, its innovative use of media, and its influence on subsequent generations of artists. The work is housed in a prominent museum or private collection, accessible to the public for viewing and appreciation.
