🆔 Humboldt Penguin (Spheniscus humboldti)

“The title compares the black and white plumage of the penguins to the black and white robes of Dominican monks. It was intended to be both gently comic and more bitingly satirical. Marks was noted for both his humourous subjects and his paintings of birds. In his autobiography he notes that birds made better models that humans, since they were less conceited, less greedy and less boring.”

Description

Orpheus Returning from the Underworld" refers to a scene from Greek mythology where the musician Orpheus, using his powerful lyre playing, successfully travels to the Underworld to retrieve his deceased wife Eurydice, but tragically loses her again by looking back at her before they fully reached the world of the living, as per the condition set by Hades, the god of the underworld; essentially, Orpheus returns from the Underworld without Eurydice due to his inability to resist looking back at her.
