Orpheus | Gustave Moreau | 1865

"Orpheus" (1865) by Gustave Moreau is a haunting Symbolist painting that portrays a serene, almost dreamlike scene. A young Thracian maiden cradles the severed head of Orpheus, the legendary musician of Greek mythology, which rests gently on his lyre. The background is a mystical, rocky landscape bathed in twilight, suggesting an otherworldly realm. The composition evokes themes of beauty, tragedy, and transcendence, blending myth with mysticism in Moreau’s signature ornate and introspective style.
