Orpheus and Eurydike fooling fortune

0.0 x 0.0

In Sakespearian plays the protagonists often complain : "... alas , I'm fortune's fool" (see i.e. Romeo) which means they make fate / fortune responsible for their evil experiences. In my painting of the old myth of Orpheus and Eurydike the protagonists react in a different way. They also might have said at first : " I am forlorn" but then they reflect and ask themselves : " Alas, why am I lorn ? " And they get the idea with the blindfold. Maybe it will work... 2012, oil on canvas, 120 x 140 cm
