EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the masterpiece "Orpheus and Eurydice" by Jean Raoux, a renowned French artist from the late 17th to early 18th century. Painted around 1709, this oil on canvas artwork measures an impressive 205.7 x 203.2 cm (81 x 80 in. ), making it a grand depiction of the tragic mythological tale. Raoux's rendition beautifully captures the emotional intensity of Orpheus and Eurydice's story. The composition centers on Orpheus, a legendary musician who descended into the underworld to rescue his beloved wife Eurydice from death's clutches. With delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors, Raoux portrays Orpheus playing his lyre with fervor while casting longing glances at Eurydice. The painting exudes both sorrow and hope as Eurydice stands behind her husband, partially obscured in shadowy depths symbolizing their separation between life and death. The artist masterfully conveys their eternal bond through subtle details like intertwined hands and tender expressions that reflect their deep love for each other. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to witness Raoux's artistic genius firsthand. This piece serves as a testament to his skillful storytelling ability through paintbrushes, capturing not only our attention but also our hearts with its poignant portrayal of one of mythology's most enduring love stories.
