Lamberto Vitali, who loved graphic art in all its aspects and was a great connoisseur and historian of engraving, had a very strong fondness for the Symbolist Odilon Redon. This charcoal drawing, mysterious and ambiguous, very black and velvety, with the large round and somewhat malignant face that emerges hanging from a slice of the moon, was discovered by Vitali himself, and was first made known in the retrospective that the Venice Biennale dedicated to the artist in 1962.
