"Mephistopheles As A Dog Following Faust And Wagner Home" is a notable work by French Symbolist artist Odilon Redon. Created in the late 19th century, this piece is part of Redon's extensive body of work that delves into the realm of fantasy, literature, and the subconscious. The artwork is inspired by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's tragic play "Faust," which tells the story of a scholar who makes a pact with the devil, Mephistopheles, in pursuit of infinite knowledge and worldly pleasures.

In this particular work, Redon captures a moment from the narrative where Mephistopheles, having taken the form of a black poodle, follows the protagonist Faust and his assistant Wagner as they return home. The image is imbued with the Symbolist movement's characteristic focus on dreamlike scenes and the exploration of inner thoughts and feelings, rather than direct representation of the physical world.

Redon's interpretation of Mephistopheles as a dog is a testament to his innovative approach to visual storytelling, where he often employed the use of metaphor and transformation to convey deeper meanings. The artwork is likely executed in Redon's signature style, which includes a combination of charcoal (noir), lithography, or pastel, mediums in which he excelled and through which he expressed the intangible and the mystical.

The piece is emblematic of Redon's fascination with the interplay between darkness and light, both thematically and in his artistic technique. The presence of Mephistopheles in the guise of a seemingly innocuous animal hints at the underlying themes of deception, temptation, and the duality of nature—central motifs in both Goethe's "Faust" and Redon's oeuvre.

As with many of Redon's works, "Mephistopheles As A Dog Following Faust And Wagner Home" would likely be housed in a museum or private collection, contributing to the understanding of Symbolist art and its impact on the development of modern art. The artwork continues to be of interest to scholars, art enthusiasts, and those intrigued by the intersection of literature and visual arts.
