"Orpheus" is a painting by the French Symbolist artist Gustave Moreau, created in 1865. The work is a prime example of Moreau's fascination with mythological subjects and his unique approach to symbolism, which often involved an intricate and ornate style. The painting depicts the ancient Greek myth of Orpheus, the legendary musician, poet, and prophet, renowned for his ability to charm all living things with his music.

In the myth, Orpheus descends into the underworld to retrieve his wife, Eurydice, who had died from a snake bite. Moreau's interpretation of the story focuses on the moment Orpheus, having failed to bring Eurydice back to the world of the living, is confronted by the Maenads – frenzied followers of Dionysus. They are about to tear him apart as punishment for not honoring their god. The painting captures the tension of this encounter, with Orpheus depicted as a serene and ethereal figure surrounded by the wild, menacing presence of the Maenads.

Moreau's "Orpheus" is characterized by its rich color palette, meticulous detail, and the use of light to create a dreamlike atmosphere. The artist's work often explored the themes of divine inspiration, the power of beauty, and the tragic nature of human existence, all of which are evident in this painting. "Orpheus" is a testament to Moreau's skill in blending classical subject matter with a modern, symbolist aesthetic, making it a significant piece in the history of 19th-century French art.

The painting is part of the collection at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, where it continues to be studied and admired for its complex symbolism and Moreau's distinctive artistic vision. "Orpheus" has been the subject of various art historical analyses and is considered one of Moreau's masterpieces, reflecting his lifelong interest in the transformative power of art and the enduring resonance of ancient myths.
