EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Orpheus and Eurydice ascend from Tartarus" we are transported to the mythical realm of ancient Greece. The image, created by an English School artist in the 19th century, depicts a pivotal moment in the timeless tale of Orpheus and Eurydice. As our eyes wander across the print, we witness Orpheus and his beloved Eurydice emerging from the depths of Tartarus, the darkest abyss of the underworld. Bathed in ethereal light, their figures exude grace and hope as they make their ascent towards freedom. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; each curling tendril of Orpheus' lyre seems to vibrate with music, while Eurydice's flowing gown billows around her like a gentle breeze. Their expressions convey both determination and trepidation - for they know that one wrong glance back could condemn them to eternal separation once again. This enchanting scene was originally created as an illustration for Charlotte M Yonge's A Pictorial History of the World's Great Nations. Now digitally cleaned and preserved within a private collection, it continues to captivate viewers with its evocative storytelling. Through this masterful engraving by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of love's enduring power and humanity's unyielding spirit even in the face of unimaginable challenges.
