Published by Éditions de la Différence, Paris, as part of Bacon’s celebrated reinterpretations of historical masterpieces, including his powerful reimagining of Ingres’s Oedipus and the Sphinx.
Francis Bacon’s Œdipe et le Sphinx (after Ingres) (1983/1984) is a colour lithograph that transforms Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres’s neoclassical scene into a psychologically charged confrontation characteristic of Bacon’s vision.
Printed on Arches paper and signed by the artist, this hors commerce impression stands apart from the standard edition of 150. Bacon intensifies the mythological encounter through distortion, tension, and his distinct chromatic force, creating a work that bridges classical iconography with the raw existential intensity of his late career.
This edition, produced by Éditions de la Différence in Paris, exemplifies Bacon’s deep engagement with art history and his ability to reinvent its themes through a contemporary, visceral lens. As a signed H.C. impression, it is both a rare collector’s piece and an outstanding example of Bacon’s graphic work.
