Eurydice Bitten by a Serpent - Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones
The mythic tragedy reimagined by Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones
The scene of Eurydice bitten by a snake unfolds here with a characteristic Pre-Raphaelite sensitivity: elongated figures, a soft palette, and subtle contrasts that emphasize the silent drama. Burne-Jones favors a lyrical composition where Eurydice's body, bathed in diffuse light, responds to the sinuous curve of the snake, creating a palpable emotional tension. The ochre and pastel shades, mixed with darker touches, enhance the melancholic atmosphere, while the precision of the line reveals great mastery of detail and textile rendering. This art print captures the delicacy of the brushstroke and the narrative depth of the original.
