The story of The Buddha
By the time Odilon Redon painted The Buddha around 1904, he had spent two decades transforming from the great black-and-white printmaker of the Symbolist 'noirs' into a master of saturated colour pastel. The painting shows the meditating Buddha beneath a yellow flowering tree, washes of pink and ultramarine surrounding the seated figure. It hangs in the Musée d'Orsay and is one of Redon's most serene late works — the painter Matisse called him 'the most spiritual artist of our time.'
