"Le Buddha" is a notable artwork by French Symbolist painter Odilon Redon, belonging to his series inspired by "The Temptation of St. Anthony." Created in the late 19th century, this series reflects Redon's fascination with the mystical and the exploration of the human psyche through visual allegory. "Le Buddha," in particular, stands out within the series as a representation of serenity and spiritual awakening amidst the chaos of temptation that surrounds the figure of St. Anthony.

Redon's work is characterized by a dream-like quality, often incorporating fantastical creatures and otherworldly scenarios. In "Le Buddha," he juxtaposes the calm, meditative presence of the Buddha with the tumultuous and often disturbing imagery that defines the rest of the series. This contrast serves to highlight the themes of inner peace and enlightenment against the backdrop of human suffering and moral struggle.

The artwork is executed in Redon's signature style, which blends elements of pastel and charcoal to create a soft yet poignant image. The use of light and shadow, as well as the subtle gradations of color, contribute to the ethereal atmosphere that is typical of Redon's later works. "Le Buddha" is not only a testament to Redon's artistic skill but also an embodiment of the Symbolist movement's preoccupation with the unseen forces of the spirit and the mind.

As a part of "The Temptation of St. Anthony" series, "Le Buddha" reflects Redon's ongoing engagement with literary sources and his interest in the interplay between text and image. The series draws from the narrative of St. Anthony's trials as depicted in various texts, most notably the writings of Gustave Flaubert, who penned a vivid account of the saint's visions and temptations. Redon's interpretation of this subject matter is both personal and universal, inviting viewers to contemplate the broader human experience through the lens of this iconic religious figure and the serene image of the Buddha.

"Le Buddha" remains an important work within Odilon Redon's oeuvre and continues to be studied and admired for its complex symbolism and its contribution to the Symbolist movement in art. Its presence in the "Temptation of St. Anthony" series underscores the diversity of Redon's artistic interests and his ability to convey profound philosophical concepts through the medium of visual art.
