"Orpheus in the Underworld" is a celebrated painting by Sir Edward Coley Burne-Jones, a preeminent artist of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, which was a movement that sought to return to the abundant detail, intense colors, and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian art. Completed in 1862, this work is one of several by Burne-Jones that depict scenes from ancient myths and legends, a common theme for artists of the Pre-Raphaelite movement.

The painting illustrates the tragic moment from the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, where Orpheus, a legendary musician, poet, and prophet, ventures into the underworld to rescue his beloved wife, Eurydice. The narrative captures the fateful instant when Orpheus, who had been instructed not to look back until they reached the upper world, succumbs to his doubt and turns to gaze upon Eurydice, thus losing her forever as she is pulled back into the depths of Hades.

Burne-Jones's rendition of this poignant scene is imbued with the rich symbolism and romanticism characteristic of his work. The artist's meticulous attention to detail and his use of vibrant colors create a dreamlike atmosphere that enhances the emotional impact of the mythological subject. "Orpheus in the Underworld" is a testament to Burne-Jones's mastery of narrative painting and his ability to convey profound human emotion through his art.

This painting is part of a larger body of work by Burne-Jones that explores classical and medieval stories, reflecting the artist's fascination with the idealized past and his desire to escape the industrialization of Victorian England. "Orpheus in the Underworld" not only exemplifies Burne-Jones's technical skill and artistic vision but also contributes to the enduring legacy of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood in the history of British art.
