Albrecht Dürer's "Orpheus Slain By Bacchantes, With A Boy Running Away": A Haunting Depiction of Tragedy, Mythology, and Artistic Virtuosity

Artistic Virtuosity: Realism and Emotional Intensity

Dürer's engraving technique transcends mere depiction, imbuing the scene with palpable tension and emotion. The twisted poses and contorted expressions of the Bacchantes convey their frenzied madness, while Orpheus' serene expression amidst the chaos highlights the contrast between his artistry and their savagery.
