About the piece
Painted in 1709 by Jean Raoux, this masterwork captures the classical myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. The composition features the couple in the center, surrounded by the figures of the underworld, including Pluto and Proserpina on their throne, rendered with the graceful light and sophisticated theatricality characteristic of the early Rococo period.
