"Tentation de Saint-Antoine (première série) (Mellerio 83-93)" is a series of ten lithographs created by French Symbolist artist Odilon Redon between 1888 and 1896. This series, inspired by the story of Saint Anthony the Great, a Christian monk from Egypt, reflects Redon's fascination with the themes of temptation, the inner psyche, and the struggle between good and evil. Saint Anthony, renowned for his ascetic life in the desert, was said to have faced a series of supernatural temptations sent by the devil. Redon's interpretation of these events is deeply personal and infused with his unique vision, characterized by a blend of the mystical and the monstrous.

Redon's work in this series is notable for its departure from the naturalistic representation of the world, embracing instead the realm of imagination and the unconscious. The lithographs are marked by a dreamlike quality, with Saint Anthony often depicted in contemplation or in confrontation with various fantastical creatures. These images are rich in symbolism and exhibit a range of tonal contrasts, from deep blacks to more ethereal, lighter shades, which serve to heighten the emotional intensity of the scenes.

The "Tentation de Saint-Antoine" series is considered a significant contribution to the Symbolist movement, as Redon's work often explored the idea of depicting not the visible world, but rather the thoughts and dreams that lie beyond physical reality. The series also exemplifies Redon's mastery of the lithographic process, a medium that allowed him to achieve both delicate gradations of tone and stark contrasts, which are characteristic of his graphic work.

Redon's "Tentation de Saint-Antoine" was well-received by his contemporaries and continues to be studied for its innovative approach to visual storytelling and its profound psychological depth. The series is cataloged by André Mellerio, a contemporary art critic and one of the first to catalogue Redon's work, and is referenced in his catalogue raisonné of Redon's lithographs as numbers 83 to 93. Today, these lithographs can be found in various art institutions and collections around the world, where they are appreciated for their artistic significance and contribution to the Symbolist movement.
