오르페우스와 에우리디케
1910
Step into a dreamlike forest where tall, ghostly trees stretch endlessly toward a pale sky. Maurice Denis, a leading figure of the Symbolist movement and the Nabis group, reimagines the tragic Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice not with dramatic action, but with a quiet, musical stillness. Orpheus stands center stage, strumming his golden lyre, while figures draped in flowing white robes listen, embrace, or gaze dreamily across a carpet of purple wildflowers. Denis believed art should express emotion rather than just copy reality, turning this ancient legend into a flat, decorative tapestry that feels more like a visual poem than a traditional story.
