EDITORS COMMENTS
This print features Gustave Moreau's "Orpheus (gravure)" a stunning work of art from the 19th century. The image showcases Orpheus, the legendary musician and poet from Greek mythology, depicted with great detail and emotion by Moreau. The artist beautifully captures Orpheus' sorrowful expression as he mourns the loss of his beloved wife Eurydice. With his tortoise-shell lyre in hand, Orpheus is known for his ability to charm all living creatures with his enchanting music. This particular print is a digitally cleaned version of an illustration originally created for "Character Sketches of Romance, Fiction and the Drama" by Rev E Cobham Brewer in 1900. It highlights the intricate engravings that bring this mythical scene to life. Gustave Moreau was a renowned French painter who excelled in creating works that merged classical themes with Symbolist elements. His attention to detail and use of vibrant colors make him one of the most celebrated artists of his time. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, we are transported back to ancient Greece, where myth and reality intertwine. It serves as a testament to both Moreau's artistic prowess and our enduring fascination with timeless tales such as that of Orpheus.
