EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Orpheus, 1865 (1900)" transports us back to the enchanting world of Greek mythology in the 19th century. The image showcases a female figure, possibly a goddess or deity, holding a musical instrument known as a lyre. She is believed to be Orpheus, the legendary musician from Thrace. The artist behind this masterpiece is Gustave Moreau, whose expertise in symbolism and symbolist art shines through every brushstroke. Through his meticulous attention to detail and monochrome palette, Moreau captures the essence of Orpheus' mythical power and divine presence. The woman's serene expression exudes grace and beauty while her head tilts slightly towards the heavens. This gesture suggests her connection with higher realms and hints at her ability to communicate with gods through music. As we gaze upon this breathtaking artwork reprinted from The Magazine of Art in 1885 by Cassell and Company Limited in 1900, we are transported into an ethereal realm where music becomes religion. It serves as a reminder of humanity's deep-rooted fascination with spirituality expressed through artistic creations. This print not only pays homage to Gustave Moreau's exceptional talent but also celebrates the enduring allure of Greek mythology that continues to captivate audiences even today.
