"Orpheus Leading Eurydice from the Underworld" is an 1861 oil painting by the French landscape painter Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot. The work is a masterful example of Corot's later period, in which he combined his signature landscape artistry with scenes from mythology and history. The painting depicts the ancient Greek myth of Orpheus, the legendary musician, poet, and prophet, who ventures into the underworld to retrieve his beloved wife, Eurydice.

In this poignant scene, Corot captures the moment of Orpheus guiding Eurydice back to the world of the living, a journey that tragically ends with her loss for a second time when Orpheus, against the warning of the gods, looks back at her. The composition is imbued with a dreamlike quality, characteristic of Corot's mature style, blending classical figures with a softened, almost ethereal landscape. The figures are rendered with a delicate touch, their forms merging with the surrounding environment, reflecting Corot's interest in the harmonious interplay between human figures and nature.

Corot's treatment of light and shadow, as well as his restrained color palette, contribute to the overall melancholic atmosphere of the painting, evoking the themes of love, loss, and the ephemeral nature of life. "Orpheus Leading Eurydice from the Underworld" is not only a testament to Corot's skill as a painter but also an expression of the Romantic sensibilities that permeated the 19th-century artistic milieu.

This painting is considered one of Corot's significant contributions to the genre of mythological landscape, a subject that allowed him to explore the emotional depth and poetic potential of his work beyond the pure landscape painting for which he was initially known. Today, the painting is held in high regard and can be found in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical significance.
