"Sphinx Am Felsenrand Uber Einem Wasserfall Liegend" is a notable work by the acclaimed German Symbolist and Art Nouveau painter, Franz von Stuck. Painted in the late 19th or early 20th century, during peak period of von Stuck's career, the work exemplifies the artist's fascination with mythology and combines sensuality with sinister undertones—a characteristic trait of von Stuck's oeuvre.

Franz von Stuck, born in 1863, was a multi-faceted artist who contributed significantly to painting, sculpture, and architecture. He was well-known for his thickly-textured paint application and his predilection towards exploring themes from ancient mythology and biblical stories—themes that are prominently displayed in "Sphinx Am Felsenrand Uber Einem Wasserfall Liegend."

This artwork presents a sphinx lying on the edge of a cliff over a waterfall. The depiction of the sphinx, a mythical creature with the head of a human and the body of a lion, is a motif recurrent in von Stuck's work, symbolizing mystery and enigma. The dramatic placement of the sphinx over a waterfall underlines the creature's dominance over nature and also adds a touch of surrealism to the composition. While the exact geographical context of this scene is uncertain, the evocative depiction of the landscape indicates a setting in an unknown, fantastical world.

The title of the artwork, "Sphinx Am Felsenrand Uber Einem Wasserfall Liegend," translates to "Sphinx Lying on the Edge of a Cliff over a Waterfall" in English, enhancing the tension and mystique inherent in the painting. The sensual, yet formidable representation of the sphinx, as well as the artist's mastery of the challenging medium of oil in conveying the texture of the sphinx's mane and the tumult of the waterfall, are key elements that distinguish this artwork.

While the exact date of creation and initial exhibition of "Sphinx Am Felsenrand Uber Einem Wasserfall Liegend" remains undetermined, it continues to be recognized as a significant work in von Stuck's catalogue and in the broader context of Symbolist and Art Nouveau painting.
