"Oedipus Solves the Riddle of the Sphinx" (German: "Ödipus löst das Rätsel der Sphinx"), also known as "Oedipus and the Sphinx," is a notable painting by the German Symbolist artist Franz von Stuck, created in 1891. This work is a representation of the well-known Greek mythological story where Oedipus, a figure from Greek mythology, encounters the Sphinx, a creature with the body of a lion and the head of a woman. According to the myth, the Sphinx guarded the entrance to the city of Thebes and posed a riddle to travelers. Those who failed to answer correctly were killed and devoured by the beast.

In von Stuck's interpretation, the painting depicts the moment of intellectual triumph as Oedipus confidently solves the Sphinx's riddle. The artist's portrayal is rich in symbolism and reflects the themes of knowledge, power, and human intellect overcoming enigmatic challenges. The composition is characterized by dramatic contrasts of light and shadow, emphasizing the tension and psychological drama of the encounter.

Franz von Stuck, a key figure in the Symbolist movement, was known for his fascination with themes of mythology, sin, and human psychology. His works often explored the darker aspects of the human psyche and incorporated elements of eroticism and the macabre. "Oedipus Solves the Riddle of the Sphinx" is considered one of his masterpieces and is exemplary of his style and thematic interests.

The painting is part of the collection at the Neue Pinakothek, a museum in Munich, Germany, which houses 19th-century art. It has been the subject of scholarly analysis and is frequently included in discussions of Symbolist art and its impact on the development of modern art at the turn of the 20th century.
