About the piece
Created in 1869, this work represents Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot's late lyrical style, where he blended mythological subjects with a proto-Impressionist sensitivity to light. The figure of Eurydice is depicted with a quiet, vulnerable dignity, surrounded by the artist's signature silvery-grey foliage and hazy, dreamlike atmosphere.
