The sphinx (Stuck)

In this cropped variant approaching a square format, Franz von Stuck’s “The sphinx” gains in monumentality. The absence of the long perspective highlights the proud verticality of the creature’s bust. The pensive face of the dark-haired woman stands out with sculptural sharpness against the electric blue of the starry sky. The soft light caressing her naked body highlights the contrast with the darkness of the rocks in the background and the blood-red velvet on which she rests. This intimate version focuses attention on the unfathomable enigma of this mythological monster’s gaze. A fascinating wall decoration that calls for contemplation.
