"La Tentation de Saint Antoine" is a series of works by the French symbolist artist Odilon Redon, created between 1888 and 1896. These pieces are inspired by Gustave Flaubert's 1874 novel "La Tentation de Saint Antoine" (The Temptation of Saint Anthony), which explores the psychological and spiritual trials of Saint Anthony the Great, a Christian monk who lived in the Egyptian desert during the 3rd and 4th centuries. Redon's interpretation of Flaubert's text is notable for its dreamlike quality and its exploration of the subconscious, aligning with the broader Symbolist movement's interest in the mystical and the otherworldly.

Redon's "La Tentation de Saint Antoine" series is characterized by its use of charcoal and lithography, mediums that allowed him to create intricate, dark, and atmospheric compositions. The works are imbued with a sense of mystery and often depict fantastical creatures, surreal landscapes, and hallucinatory visions that reflect Saint Anthony's inner turmoil and spiritual struggles. Redon's unique artistic style, marked by his use of chiaroscuro and his ability to evoke a sense of the uncanny, brings a deeply personal and introspective dimension to the narrative.

The series is considered a significant contribution to Symbolist art, as it encapsulates the movement's emphasis on the representation of inner experiences and the exploration of themes such as temptation, faith, and the human psyche. Redon's works on "La Tentation de Saint Antoine" have been praised for their imaginative power and their ability to convey complex emotional and spiritual states. They continue to be studied and admired for their innovative approach to both technique and subject matter, reflecting Redon's position as a pivotal figure in the transition from 19th-century Romanticism to early 20th-century modernism.
