EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating chromolitho print titled "Orpheus loses Eurydice again" takes us back to the enchanting world of Greek mythology. Created by an anonymous European School artist in the 19th century, this artwork captures a pivotal moment in the tragic tale of Orpheus and his beloved wife, Eurydice. In this scene, Orpheus stands at the threshold of the underworld, desperately pleading with Hades to release his wife from death's grip. With grief etched on his face and sorrow emanating from every brushstroke, Orpheus clings onto his lyre - a symbol of their once harmonious love. Hermes, messenger of the gods, watches solemnly as Cerberus guards the gates behind them. Eurydice is depicted as she begins her descent into darkness once more. Her expression reflects both resignation and longing for her husband's touch. The anguish felt by both characters is palpable; it resonates through their parted hands and tear-filled eyes. This poignant image serves as a reminder that even in moments of great loss and despair, love can transcend boundaries. It speaks to our universal human experience of mourning and grieving for those we hold dear. Displayed on educational cards during late 19th or early 20th century classrooms, this artwork not only captivates but also teaches about ancient myths that continue to inspire generations today.
