The Three Stages of Woman (Sphinx).

Edvard Munch's The Three Stages of Woman (Sphinx) (1894) is a compelling symbolic painting that explores the phases of a woman's life. Created using oil on canvas, the artwork exemplifies Munch's interest in Symbolism and psychological depth. The composition depicts three transformations, symbolizing innocence, maturity, and decline, emphasizing the transient nature of existence. Munch's expressive style and vivid colors evoke emotional intensity, making this piece a powerful example of late 19th-century Surrealism influences and his mastery in conveying human vulnerability.
