EDITORS COMMENTS
In this chromolitho print titled "Farewell for eternity!", we are transported to the realm of Greek mythology. The artwork, created by an anonymous French School artist in the 19th century, depicts a poignant moment from the tragic love story of Orpheus and Eurydice. The scene captures the heart-wrenching farewell between Orpheus and his beloved wife Eurydice as they part ways once again. As per the myth, Orpheus had journeyed to the underworld to rescue Eurydice from death's clutches. However, their reunion was short-lived when he succumbed to temptation and glanced back at her before reaching the upper world. This fatal act caused him to lose her forever. The image exudes grief and despair as both figures express their sorrow through mournful gestures. Orpheus holds his lyre, a symbol of his musical talent that captivated even Hades himself during his quest. Meanwhile, Eurydice stands with a pained expression on her face, fully aware that she will be condemned to remain in the underworld indefinitely. This educational card is part of a series featuring sayings and mottos related to loss and love. It serves as a reminder of the consequences that can arise from our inability to let go or resist temptation – lessons still relevant today. Through this evocative artwork, we are invited into a world where music intertwines with tragedy, leaving us contemplating eternal farewells and lost chances at happiness.
