The Sphinx | Georg von Rosen | 1907

"The Sphinx" (1907) by Georg von Rosen is a haunting and symbolic painting depicting a creature with the body of a lioness and the face of a woman, crouched atop a rocky ledge. The setting is a barren, craggy landscape, and the Sphinx stares directly at the viewer with an intense, almost accusatory gaze. Her human-like face and feline form evoke both mystery and menace. Below, hints of a fallen figure and blood suggest a tragic or violent encounter, reinforcing the mythological role of the Sphinx as a riddler and destroyer of those who fail to answer her challenge. The painting captures the eerie tension between beauty, danger, and enigma.
