Description
Orpheus and Eurydice sets the myth within an expansive wooded landscape. Nicolas Poussin places a lyre player and his companions among the foreground trees, while figures at right react to a sudden disturbance.
A river, distant buildings and softly rising hills draw the eye into the scene. The calm arrangement of foliage and sky contrasts with the unfolding drama, allowing a small human event to resonate within a much larger view of nature.
