"Orpheus (or Thracian Girl Carrying the Head of Orpheus)" is a painting by the French Symbolist artist Gustave Moreau, created in the late 19th century. The work is a representation of a scene from the ancient Greek myth of Orpheus, a legendary musician, poet, and prophet whose talents could charm all living things and even inanimate objects. In the myth, after failing to retrieve his wife Eurydice from the underworld, Orpheus is dismembered by the Maenads, the frenzied followers of Dionysus. According to the legend, his head and lyre were carried to the island of Lesbos, where an oracle of Orpheus was established.

Moreau's painting captures the moment after Orpheus's death, focusing on the figure of a Thracian girl, one of the Maenads, who is depicted carrying the severed head of Orpheus. The work is imbued with the Symbolist movement's characteristic fascination with myth, mysticism, and the exploration of the inner psyche. Moreau's style is noted for its intricate detail, rich color palette, and the use of both historical and exotic elements, which combine to create a dreamlike and otherworldly atmosphere.

The painting is a testament to Moreau's preoccupation with the tragic and the sublime, as well as his interest in the theme of the artist as martyr. It reflects the Symbolist movement's emphasis on the power of art to evoke emotions and transcend the mundane. "Orpheus (or Thracian Girl Carrying the Head of Orpheus)" is considered one of Moreau's significant works, contributing to his reputation as a leading figure in the Symbolist art movement. The painting is housed in a prominent museum or gallery, forming part of Moreau's extensive oeuvre, which continues to captivate audiences with its enigmatic beauty and depth of meaning.
