Oannes is a notable work by the French Symbolist painter and printmaker Odilon Redon, created in the late 19th century. Redon, known for his visionary and often fantastical imagery, drew inspiration from mythology, literature, and his own dreams to create works that evoke a sense of mystery and introspection. Oannes is no exception, embodying the artist's fascination with the mystical and the otherworldly.

The figure of Oannes originates from ancient Mesopotamian mythology, where he is depicted as a half-man, half-fish deity who emerged from the sea to impart wisdom and knowledge to humanity. This mythological being is often associated with the god Ea (or Enki), a deity of water, knowledge, and creation. Redon's interpretation of Oannes reflects his interest in the esoteric and the symbolic, as well as his ability to blend natural and supernatural elements seamlessly.

In Oannes, Redon employs his characteristic use of dark, moody tones and ethereal light to create a haunting and enigmatic atmosphere. The figure of Oannes is rendered with a dreamlike quality, emphasizing the surreal and otherworldly nature of the subject. Redon's use of charcoal and pastel in this work highlights his skill in manipulating light and shadow to evoke a sense of depth and mystery.

The work is a testament to Redon's unique artistic vision, which often sought to transcend the visible world and explore the realms of the imagination and the subconscious. Oannes stands as a significant example of Redon's contribution to the Symbolist movement, showcasing his ability to infuse his art with profound symbolic meaning and emotional depth. Through this piece, Redon invites viewers to ponder the mysteries of existence and the hidden truths that lie beneath the surface of reality.
