The earliest Buddhist art did not show the Buddha at all.  Buddha was clear that he was not a God to be idolized.  Rather, he was a person who was able to disidentify from his limited persona and this is was made him free. 

Early Buddhist art showed a leaf from the forest where Buddha meditated, or a footprint, but never Buddha the person.  In later centuries, Buddha appears in Buddhist art.  In some later forms of Mahayana Buddhism, whole pantheons of Buddhists appear. 

Now Buddhist temples and monasteries have either one Buddha on the main altar, or, as in the case of Tibetan Temples, many Buddhas, emanations of Buddhas and Buddhist protectors all around. 

If you go to Bangkok, a river cruise takes you to the site of the above Buddha-Tree.  For more about the tree and Buddha: The Story--The Tree
