The second one is The Uncertainty of the Poet, by Chiciro. Which led me to discovering that the first one is The Enigma of the Hour.

It is indeed the enigma of the hour :)
Don't know the current one.
It's 'Queen Eleanor' by Frederick Sandys. I can't remember where I've seen it, but the title popped into my mind as soon as I looked at it.
Right, here's one off the top of my head, though I suspect it won't remain a mystery for very long:

Nope... not Russian... and a rather major painter at that.
I thought there might be a Russian connection because of the wording at the bottom of this picture.
However, The painting is Christ the Judge by Fra Angelico

Hmmm...
I keep coming back to the Sphinx and Oedipus. However, I have been unsuccessful in working that angle.

It looks very much like Salome with the head of John the Baptist but I don't know the significance of the winged creature.
Is it Nicholas Kalmakoff? Salome Sphinx?
Bingo!
