"Oedipe et le Sphinx" (Oedipus and the Sphinx) is a famous oil painting by French Symbolist artist Gustave Moreau, created in 1864. The painting is one of Moreau's most celebrated works and exemplifies his fascination with mystical and mythological subjects. It depicts the legendary encounter between Oedipus and the Sphinx, a creature with the body of a lion and the head of a woman, which had been terrorizing the city of Thebes by posing a riddle to travelers and devouring those who could not answer correctly.

Moreau's interpretation of the scene is rich in symbolism and dramatic intensity. Oedipus is shown standing confidently as he confronts the enigmatic Sphinx, who lounges on a rocky outcrop. The tension between human intellect and animalistic mystery is palpable in the composition, which is filled with intricate details and a complex interplay of gazes between the characters. The painting's color palette, dominated by earthy tones and the subtle interplay of light and shadow, adds to the overall sense of foreboding and psychological depth.

The work is often regarded as a masterpiece of Symbolism, a movement that sought to express the more mystical and emotional aspects of the human experience, often through the use of mythological themes. "Oedipe et le Sphinx" is housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, France, and continues to be a subject of study for its innovative approach to narrative and its influence on the development of Symbolist art. Moreau's painting has inspired numerous interpretations and has cemented his reputation as a pivotal figure in the transition from traditional academic art to the more experimental and expressive art movements of the late 19th century.
