WASHINGTON -- Have you ever felt put off by the imperturbable serenity exuded by the Buddha in countless artistic images? Maybe it is my American DNA or my underdeveloped consciousness, but I sometimes feel almost as alienated by his Teflon-like immunity to excitation as by the idealized agony of the crucified Jesus. They both seem so unnaturally abstract. These thoughts were crystallized for me by one of the most beautiful exhibitions I have ever seen: ''Colorful Realm: Japanese Bird-and-Flower Paintings by Ito Jakuchu (1716-1800)'' at the National Gallery of Art here.

Unlike today's aspring artists, for those in pre-20th-century France the path to success was pretty clear. ''Becoming an Artist: The Academy in 19th-Century France'' explains the rigid system by which careers were made. (The show was organized by the peripatetic Dahesh Museum of Art, which is still seeking a home of its own.) The academy required three years of drawing, followed by painting under a recognized master's tutelage and, finally, winning the Prix de Rome. There is more to learn about the process from this compact show, but the main attraction is in the surprising number of mostly small, beautifully made paintings and drawings on display. The academicians liked to illustrate ancient stories, and there's a good one by the ever-lubricious Jean-Leon Gerome. In a laptop-size oil-on-paper study made with a fine, sensuous touch, King Candaules watches his voluptuous wife, Queen Rodolphe, disrobe in the royal bedchamber. Unknown to her, the king's lieutenant Gyges watches from the shadows. As the legend goes, when she discovers that the hidden voyeur was there at the invitation of the king, who wanted to show off her beauty, she became enraged and gave the interloper the choice of dying or killing the king and marrying her. He chose the latter. Truly an edifying tale. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
