Edvard Munch – Das Weib (De Sfinx) (1899) – The Femme Fatale Reimagined Print

Edvard Munch’s Das Weib (De Sfinx) (1899) confronts the archetype of the femme fatale through a deeply psychological and symbolic lens. The female figure, part woman, part mythic sphinx, dominates the canvas with an enigmatic and commanding presence. Her expression is both seductive and sorrowful, suggesting a complex and multifaceted interior world rather than a one-dimensional object of desire. Often misread as a symbol of danger, Munch’s sphinx challenges patriarchal fear of feminine power and mystery. Viewed through a feminist lens, Das Weib becomes a reclamation—a portrait of a woman who embodies complexity, autonomy, and a refusal to be simplified.
