  • The Sacrifice of Iphigenia (French: Le sacrifice d'Iphigénie) is a 1968 painting by Paul Delvaux. Inspired by Iphigenia's sacrifice in Greek mythology, it depicts five people on a boardwalk. In the foreground are three women, two of whom might be the same person who watches herself, and behind them appears to be a scene of human sacrifice where a man overlooks a woman with an exposed breast. Painted in oil on canvas, The Sacrifice of Iphigenia was made during a period when Delvaux frequently made references to classical mythology in his works. It uses ambiguous symbols and has been interpreted as a work about sexual initiation. It was exhibited at the 34th Venice Biennale in 1968. (en)
