Oedipus and The Sphinx | Gustave Moreau | 1864

This painting, Oedipus and The Sphinx by Gustave Moreau, created circa 1864, depicts the dramatic encounter between Oedipus and the Sphinx from Greek mythology. The Sphinx, a hybrid creature with the body of a lion, wings of a bird, and the face of a woman, clings to Oedipus, who confronts her with composed determination. Oedipus holds a spear and stands resolute, embodying both vulnerability and courage. The scene is set against a rocky, otherworldly backdrop with rich details and symbolic elements, showcasing Moreau's fascination with mythology, intricate textures, and mystical themes.
