EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Love And Death" we are transported back to the ancient world of Greek mythology. The image depicts Orpheus, a skilled lyre player, as he embarks on a perilous journey to rescue his beloved wife Eurydice from the depths of the Underworld. The scene captures a moment of both hope and tragedy. Orpheus stands tall, his lyre in hand, emanating an aura of determination and devotion. His eyes reflect the weight of his promise not to look back at Eurydice until they have safely returned to the realm of the living. Eurydice, portrayed with ethereal beauty, gazes lovingly at her husband while clutching onto him for support. Their connection is palpable even in death's embrace - a testament to their unwavering love that transcends mortal boundaries. Yet, despite their profound bond and Orpheus' valiant efforts, fate intervenes cruelly. In a momentary lapse of self-control or perhaps overwhelming doubt, he glances backward against his vow. With this single act defying Hades' commandment, Eurydice slips away forever into eternal darkness. This poignant artwork by Victorian English painter George Frederick Watts masterfully captures the essence of human emotion intertwined with mythological themes. It serves as a reminder that love can conquer even death itself but warns us about the fragility and consequences that come with breaking our promises. Through its evocative portrayal and rich symbolism rooted in early civilization
