"Tête de Saint Jean-Baptiste" is a notable work by the French symbolist painter and printmaker Odilon Redon. Created in the late 19th century, this piece exemplifies Redon's fascination with the mystical and the macabre, themes that permeate much of his oeuvre. Redon, who was born in 1840 and died in 1916, is renowned for his unique ability to blend reality with dreamlike visions, often drawing inspiration from literature, mythology, and religion.

The artwork depicts the severed head of Saint John the Baptist, a subject that has been explored by various artists throughout history. However, Redon's interpretation is distinct in its ethereal and haunting quality. The head of Saint John the Baptist is rendered with a delicate yet eerie realism, floating against a dark, indeterminate background. This composition evokes a sense of otherworldliness, aligning with the Symbolist movement's emphasis on evoking emotions and ideas rather than depicting the physical world accurately.

Redon's use of charcoal and lithography in "Tête de Saint Jean-Baptiste" showcases his mastery of these mediums. The subtle gradations of light and shadow, combined with the meticulous detailing of the saint's features, create a compelling contrast that draws the viewer into the image. The eyes of Saint John the Baptist, often described as soulful and haunting, seem to convey a sense of suffering and transcendence, inviting contemplation on themes of martyrdom and spiritual awakening.

This work is a testament to Redon's ability to convey profound psychological and spiritual depth through his art. It reflects his interest in exploring the boundaries between life and death, the material and the immaterial. "Tête de Saint Jean-Baptiste" remains a significant piece within Redon's body of work, illustrating his contribution to the Symbolist movement and his enduring influence on modern art.
