EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the moment when Orpheus, the legendary musician and poet of Greek mythology, cannot resist turning around to look at his beloved Eurydice as they journey back from the underworld. The intricate details in Frederick Richardson's illustration bring this timeless tale to life, showcasing Orpheus with his harp in hand, mesmerized by the beauty of Eurydice.
The scene is taken from "The Wonder Book of Myths and Legends," compiled by William Byron Forbush in 1928, a collection that has continued to enchant readers for generations. The black and white contrast adds a sense of drama and mystery to the story, emphasizing the emotional turmoil faced by Orpheus as he struggles between love and loss.
As we gaze upon this print, we are transported into a world where music intertwines with myth, where love defies death itself. It serves as a reminder of the power of storytelling and how these ancient legends continue to resonate with us today.
Let yourself be drawn into this enchanting image, where every detail tells a story waiting to be discovered. Feel the emotion radiating from Orpheus as he grapples with his inner conflict - a poignant moment frozen in time for us to ponder upon.
