The Underworld brings together dark rivers, guardians, tortures and traveling heroes in compositions where the light of the living confronts the kingdom of Hades.
In Greek and then Roman mythology, the Underworld forms the underground domain of the dead, governed by Hades or Pluto. The Styx marks a border that Charon makes souls cross, while Cerberus guards the entrance. The painters find there an immense theater of caves, flames and crowds. Jan Brueghel the Elder accompanies Orpheus in the middle of a teeming world where music attempts to suspend the law of death. Aeneas and the Sibyl cross the same space to access a revelation about the destiny of Rome. Aeneas and the Sibyl isolates Pluto and its guardian. Titian concentrates the tragedy on Orpheus who turns towards Eurydice and loses a second time the one he came to deliver. The "Paintings from Hell" selection notably compares Orpheus in the Underworld - Jan Brueghel the Elder and Aeneas and the Sibyl in the Underworld - Jan Brueghel the Elder. His reading favors atmosphere.
Painting the Underworld consists of making visible a border: that which separates memory from oblivion, hope from return and light from the underworld.
