Remains of victims who answered incorrectly litter the foreground. (The solution is the human, who crawls as a baby, strides upright in maturity, and uses a cane in old age.) Moreau made his mark with this painting at the Paris Salon of 1864. Despite the growing prominence of depictions of everyday life, he portrayed biblical, mythological, and imagined stories. His otherworldly imagery attracted a younger generation that included Odilon Redon and Oscar Wilde.\" - (\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.metmuseum.org\/art\/collection\/search\/437153\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"The Metropolitan Museum of Art New York - Oedipus and the Sphinx\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003eThe Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York\u003c\/a\u003e)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gustave Moreau","offers":[{"title":"No Size Selected (Select a Size)","offer_id":49887659262195,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Replica Size (81 1\/4\" x 41 1\/4\")","offer_id":49887659294963,"sku":null,"price":4860.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Signature Size (25 1\/8\" x 12 3\/4\")","offer_id":49887659327731,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Classic Size (30 3\/4\" x 15 5\/8\")","offer_id":49887659360499,"sku":null,"price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gallery Size (37 5\/8\" x 19 1\/8\")","offer_id":49887659393267,"sku":null,"price":1295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Statement Size (48 5\/8\" x 24 3\/4\")","offer_id":49887659426035,"sku":null,"price":1995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Grand Size (58 3\/8\" x 29 5\/8\")","offer_id":49887659458803,"sku":null,"price":2795.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Estate Size (68 3\/4\" x 35\")","offer_id":49887659491571,"sku":null,"price":3695.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Museum Size (82 1\/2\" x 41 7\/8\")","offer_id":49887659524339,"sku":null,"price":4995.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/5738\/6483\/files\/OedipusandtheSphinx.jpg?v=1783648221","url":"https:\/\/commissionedpaintings.com\/products\/oedipus-and-the-sphinx","provider":"Commissioned Paintings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
