Nasturtiums (1905) by Odilon Redon

Nasturtiums (1905) — Odilon Redon

A quiet blaze of colour. Redon’s Nasturtiums gathers sun-warmed oranges and ember reds in a vase that feels half dream, half memory. Petals drift like brush-whispers; stems arc with musical grace. It’s the tender, luminous Redon of the 1900s—Symbolist spirit meeting a newfound love of colour.

Why it captivates

• Luminous colour — glowing oranges, corals, and golds against soft, moody grounds.

• Poetic stillness — flowers that seem to breathe rather than pose.

• Symbolist soul — sensation over description; emotion in every tint.

• Versatile elegance — warms living rooms, bedrooms, and refined workspaces.

• Collector favourite — a quintessential Redon floral from his late, colour-rich period.

What you’ll see

A loose bouquet of nasturtiums—rounded leaves, fluted petals, and trailing stems—rising from a simple vessel. Colour is layered in glowing veils; edges soften to air; the background hums with quiet violets and greys so the blooms can sing.

A richer historical frame

Having made his name with the charcoal noirs, Odilon Redon turned increasingly to pastel and oil around the turn of the century. His late florals—intimate, radiant, dreamlike—embody Symbolism’s belief that colour can carry feeling. Painted in 1905, Nasturtiums is part reverie, part bouquet: a meditation on light, scent, and the inner life of flowers.
