"Orpheus" (French: "Orphée") is a celebrated painting by the French Symbolist artist Gustave Moreau, created in 1865. This work is a quintessential example of Moreau's fascination with mythological themes and his meticulous, highly detailed style. The painting depicts the tragic figure of Orpheus, a legendary musician, poet, and prophet in ancient Greek mythology, whose music had the power to charm all living things and even inanimate objects.

In Moreau's rendition, Orpheus is represented posthumously, with his severed head resting on his lyre, which floats down the river Hebrus. This poignant image captures the moment after Orpheus has been killed by the Maenads, followers of Dionysus, who were enraged by his refusal to honor their god. The serene and almost ethereal expression on Orpheus's face contrasts starkly with the violent nature of his death, emphasizing the transcendence of his art and spirit.

Moreau's use of rich, jewel-like colors and intricate detailing in "Orpheus" is characteristic of his broader oeuvre. The painting is imbued with a sense of melancholy and mysticism, inviting viewers to reflect on themes of beauty, loss, and the enduring power of art. The background features a lush, dreamlike landscape that further enhances the otherworldly atmosphere of the scene.

"Orpheus" is housed in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, where it continues to be a focal point for admirers of Symbolist art. Moreau's work has been influential in the development of Symbolism and has inspired subsequent generations of artists and writers who are drawn to its rich allegorical content and exquisite craftsmanship. The painting remains a testament to Moreau's skill in blending mythological narrative with profound emotional and spiritual depth.
