"Orpheus on the Tomb of Eurydice" is a notable work by French Symbolist painter Gustave Moreau, created in 1865. This painting is one of Moreau's many interpretations of the ancient Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, a story that has captivated artists for centuries. In the myth, Orpheus, a legendary musician, poet, and prophet, descends into the underworld to retrieve his beloved wife, Eurydice, after her untimely death. Despite his enchanting music that softens the hearts of the gods of the underworld, his attempt ultimately ends in tragedy when he disobeys their condition not to look back at Eurydice before reaching the surface, causing her to be lost to him forever.
