Death of Euridice

Death of Euridice, a painting by Joos de Momper the Younger, dates from 1590-1675. It is housed in the Rijksmuseum. The painting measures 1.71 meters in width and 0.81 meters in height.

The artwork depicts a landscape scene with classical figures in the foreground. The foreground shows two nude figures, one reclining and seemingly deceased, and another standing nearby, possibly mourning. Scattered objects are around them, possibly symbolic. The background is a vast, detailed landscape with rolling hills, buildings, and a distant cityscape, characteristic of the artist's style. The landscape is rendered with a high level of detail, showing a variety of trees, structures, and atmospheric perspective. The overall color palette is muted earth tones with greens, browns, and blues dominating. The painting is on a trapezoidal shaped panel.
