Agate the Sphinx.\u00a0<\/b>Buenos Aires, winter 2014. Painting, Oil on canvas, Size: 47.2 W x 35.4 H in (120 W x 90\b H cm).\u00a0 \u00a9 2014 Florencia San Martin Br\u00fcck\/Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York<\/p>\n

The painting depicts the Sphinx triumphs over Oedipus at the crossroads on his journey between Thebes and Delphi. The Sphinx may be seen as a form of femme fatale, a common theme in Symbolist painting.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Opening poem of Buch der Leider by Heinrich Heine:<\/p>\n

Nightly I see you in dreams-you speak,<\/em>
\n With kindliness sincerest,<\/em>
\n I throw myself, weeping aloud and weak<\/em>
\n At your sweet feet, my dearest.<\/em><\/p>\n

You look at me with wistful woe,<\/em>
\n And shake your golden curls;<\/em>
\n And stealing from your eyes there flow<\/em>
\n The teardrops like to pearls.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

You breathe in my ear a secret word,<\/em>
\n A garland of cypress for token.<\/em>
\n I wake; it is gone; the dream is blurred,<\/em>
\n<\/em> And forgotten the word that was spoken.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
