Kratzenstein-Stub: Orpheus and Eurydice

Eurydice (left) and Orpheus (right) reach for each other as she is pulled back into the underworld. Her arms are raised over her head and her body is bowed as she strains toward Orpheus; her dress blows toward Orpheus with the speed of her movement.
    Annotations

    Eurydice slips back into the underworld after Orpheus looks back. Christian Gottlieb Kratzenstein-Stub (1806) oil on canvas. Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek.
