Orpheus | Paul Duqueylar | 1800

This painting, titled Orpheus by Paul Duqueylar, portrays the mythological musician and poet in a moment of deep sorrow. The young, nude Orpheus is depicted in a classical pose, draped modestly with a red cloth, a laurel wreath on his head, and holding a lyre—his iconic instrument. His downcast gaze and hand raised to his face suggest mourning or lament, likely referencing the tragic loss of his beloved Eurydice. The muted background and soft lighting enhance the melancholic and introspective mood of the piece, emphasizing Neoclassical ideals of beauty, emotion, and restraint.
