EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the tragic moment of Eurydice's death in Eugene Delacroix's "Four Seasons, The Spring: Eurydice Bitten by a Serpent while Picking Flowers." The painting depicts the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, where Eurydice is fatally bitten by a serpent while gathering flowers in the springtime. Delacroix masterfully portrays the anguish and despair of Orpheus as he loses his beloved wife to the underworld.
The rich colors and intricate details in this artwork showcase Delacroix's mastery of Romanticism, with elements of allegory and ancient Greek mythology intertwined. The figure of Eurydice, portrayed as a nymph or dryad, exudes grace and beauty even in her final moments. The lush landscape surrounding her adds to the sense of tragedy and loss that permeates this scene.
As viewers gaze upon this print, they are transported back in time to an era filled with tales of gods, goddesses, and epic love stories. Delacroix's interpretation of this classic myth resonates with emotion and drama, making it a timeless piece that continues to captivate audiences today.
Displayed at the Museu de Arte de São Paulo, this masterpiece serves as a reminder of the enduring power of art to evoke deep emotions and tell compelling stories from centuries past.
