"Tentation de Saint-Antoine (première série) (Mellerio 83-93)" is a series of ten lithographs created by the French Symbolist artist Odilon Redon between 1888 and 1896. This series, inspired by the story of the temptation of Saint Anthony, showcases Redon's unique blend of the mystical and the macabre, a hallmark of his graphic works. Saint Anthony, a Christian monk from Egypt, was said to have faced a series of supernatural temptations during his sojourn in the desert. Redon's interpretation of these temptations is imbued with his interest in the inner world of dreams and the unconscious.

The lithographs in this series are characterized by their haunting imagery, featuring fantastical creatures and enigmatic figures that seem to emerge from the depths of the saint's psyche. Redon's use of stark contrasts between light and dark, as well as his delicate yet expressive line work, contributes to the dreamlike and sometimes nightmarish quality of the scenes. The series reflects Redon's fascination with the themes of good and evil, the spiritual and the corporeal, and the struggle between the human and the divine.

"Mellerio 83-93" refers to the catalogue numbers assigned to these works by André Mellerio, a French art critic and one of the first to catalogue Redon's prints comprehensively. Mellerio's catalogue remains a key reference for scholars and collectors of Redon's oeuvre.

The "Tentation de Saint-Antoine" series is considered a significant work in Redon's lithographic career and is often cited as an important precursor to the Surrealist movement, which would explore similar themes of the unconscious and the transformation of reality. The series has been exhibited in various art institutions around the world and is held in several prominent museum collections, attesting to its enduring impact on the history of art.
