"The Sphinx" is a notable painting by the German Symbolist and Art Nouveau artist Franz von Stuck, created in 1895. This work is emblematic of von Stuck's fascination with mythological and mystical themes, which often explored the darker aspects of human psyche and sexuality. The painting depicts the enigmatic figure of the Sphinx, a mythical creature with the body of a lion and the head of a human, which has been a symbol of mystery and esoteric wisdom since ancient times.

In von Stuck's interpretation, the Sphinx takes on a seductive and somewhat menacing quality, embodying the femme fatale motif common in Symbolist art. The creature is often interpreted as representing the dual nature of femininity, as both alluring and destructive, a theme that von Stuck revisited in various works throughout his career. The painting's composition, with its use of chiaroscuro and a limited color palette, serves to heighten the dramatic tension and the sense of foreboding that surrounds the figure of the Sphinx.

"The Sphinx" is considered one of von Stuck's masterpieces and is a prime example of the Symbolist movement's preoccupation with themes of desire, fear, and the unknown. The painting is not only significant for its aesthetic qualities but also for its cultural and psychological implications, reflecting the anxieties and preoccupations of fin-de-siècle society. It remains an important work in the oeuvre of Franz von Stuck and continues to be studied and admired for its complex symbolism and its powerful visual impact.
