"Orpheus and Eurydice" is a painting by the French Baroque artist Nicolas Poussin, created in 1650-1651. The artwork is a representation of the ancient Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, where Orpheus, a legendary musician, poet, and prophet, descends into the underworld to retrieve his beloved wife Eurydice after her untimely death. Poussin's interpretation of the tale is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the power of art.

The painting is executed in oil on canvas and measures approximately 124 cm by 200 cm. It is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. In this work, Poussin depicts the climactic moment when Orpheus, having persuaded Hades and Persephone to release Eurydice, leads her back to the world of the living. The condition set by the gods of the underworld was that Orpheus should not look back until they had both reached the upper world. However, in a tragic turn, Orpheus turns to gaze upon Eurydice, causing her to vanish forever.

Poussin's composition is characterized by its classical clarity and calm, a hallmark of his style, which sought to express the ideals of order and rationality. The figures are arranged in a frieze-like manner, with a strong emphasis on horizontal and vertical lines that create a sense of stability and structure. The landscape in the background is typical of Poussin's work, with its serene and idealized portrayal of nature.

The painting is a testament to Poussin's mastery of classical subject matter and his ability to convey complex emotions through a restrained and harmonious visual language. "Orpheus and Eurydice" is often cited as an example of Poussin's "grand manner," a term that denotes a style of painting that is grand in its conception, adhering to classical ideals of beauty and noble simplicity.

As one of the most influential figures in 17th-century French painting, Nicolas Poussin's "Orpheus and Eurydice" continues to be studied and admired for its technical precision, emotional depth, and its embodiment of the Baroque period's artistic values. The work is an important piece within Poussin's oeuvre and remains a significant contribution to the canon of Western art.
