Oedipus Rex and the Sphinx Vintage Art Print - Greek Tragedy Art $34

Behold this scene from Sophocles' infamous Greek tragedy "Oedipus Rex". Our exclusive edition of Jean Auguste Ingres's detailed drawing, to become a painting sent to the Institut de France in 1808, shows a traveling Oedipus in conversation with the Sphinx, a creature with the head of a woman, body of a lion, and wings of an eagle, who guarded the road into the city of Thebes. The Sphinx would pose a riddle to passing travelers; one had to answer correctly pass into the city, yet none had ever solved it and were promptly killed and eaten. The area below the Sphinx's perch is littered with the remains of those who passed before. Oedipus was the first to ever solve the riddle, and being so shamed and enraged the Sphinx killed herself.

This print is a highly detailed scan of the original published plate and is truly an amazing image perfect for framing!
