This reproduction of "La Mort d'Orphée" by Gustave Doré was made by the French artist Charles Michelez between 1874 and 1879. The image depicts the death of Orpheus, a legendary musician and poet in Greek mythology. It features a scene of chaos and violence, with a group of women surrounding a dead Orpheus, his lyre lying by his side. The composition is dramatic and expressive, capturing the emotional turmoil of the moment. It's a powerful example of Michelez's skill as a printmaker and his ability to translate the work of other artists into a new medium.
