"Oedipus och Antigone" is an oil painting by the Swedish artist Per Wickenberg, created in 1845. The painting depicts a scene from Greek mythology, specifically a moment from the Theban plays by the ancient playwright Sophocles. The artwork illustrates the tragic figures of Oedipus and his daughter Antigone, characters who are central to Sophocles' exploration of fate, family, and moral complexity in his plays "Oedipus Rex," "Oedipus at Colonus," and "Antigone."

In the painting, Wickenberg captures the emotional intensity between the blind Oedipus, who has discovered his own inadvertent patricide and incest, and Antigone, who acts as his guide and support after his downfall. The artwork reflects the themes of suffering, guilt, and loyalty that are prevalent in the original Greek tragedies.

Per Wickenberg (1812–1846) was a notable figure in the Swedish art scene of the 19th century. Trained at the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts, he became known for his landscape and genre paintings. "Oedipus och Antigone" stands out in his oeuvre as an example of his engagement with classical themes and his ability to convey complex human emotions. The painting is significant in the context of Swedish art history for its classical subject matter and its demonstration of Wickenberg's artistic skills.

The painting is held in a collection or museum, and it has been studied for its artistic merit as well as its interpretation of the ancient myths that have influenced Western art and literature for centuries. "Oedipus och Antigone" remains an important work for scholars interested in the reception of classical mythology in the visual arts and for those studying the history of Scandinavian painting in the 19th century.
