About Artwork: (1930) "Burroughs, who was head curator at The Metropolitan Museum of Art from 1909 until shortly before his death, destroyed most of his early paintings in the first years of the twentieth century. His later works, such as this, often treated mythological subjects and were reminiscent in style of works by the French artist, Puvis de Chavannes. This scene illustrates an episode from the story of Eurydice and her beloved Orpheus, seen embracing her at left. While fleeing from the advances of Aristaeus, Eurydice was bitten by a snake and died. This episode precedes Orpheus' failed attempt to rescue Eurydice from the Underworld." - (The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York)
