"Eurydice Bitten by the Snake" is a 1930 painting by the American artist Bryson Burroughs (1869–1934), who was known for his allegorical works and contributions to American neoclassicism. The painting is a representation of the tragic moment from the ancient Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, where Eurydice is bitten by a snake, leading to her death and setting the stage for Orpheus's fateful journey to the underworld.

Burroughs's interpretation of this mythological scene is characterized by its classical composition and serene yet melancholic atmosphere. The painting likely reflects the artist's academic training and his interest in the idealized forms and narratives of classical antiquity. As a curator at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, Burroughs was deeply influenced by the historical works he encountered, which is evident in the stylistic choices and thematic concerns of "Eurydice Bitten by the Snake."

The artwork is notable for its use of light and shadow, the anatomical precision of the figures, and the emotional resonance of the subject matter. Burroughs's Eurydice is typically depicted at the moment of her snakebite, capturing both the beauty of her form and the tragedy of her impending fate. The painting's composition, with its focus on the figures and the absence of a detailed background, directs the viewer's attention to the narrative and emotional core of the myth.

"Eurydice Bitten by the Snake" is part of Bryson Burroughs's broader body of work, which often explored mythological and allegorical themes. His paintings are recognized for their contribution to the American art scene of the early 20th century, particularly in the context of the revival of classical themes and techniques. While Burroughs may not be as widely known as some of his contemporaries, his work, including "Eurydice Bitten by the Snake," offers a glimpse into the neoclassical currents that were present in American art during this period.
