About the piece
Created in 1861 by Camille Corot, a leader of the Barbizon school, this painting is a quintessential example of his 'souvenir' style. It depicts the tragic mythological figures Orpheus and Eurydice as they navigate a hazy, silvery-gray underworld. The soft, feathery treatment of the foliage and the luminous, moody palette create a sense of poetic longing and quiet drama.
