ADOLPHE WILLIAM BOUGUEREAU - THE FURIES, 1862
In the painting, the Furies pursue Orestes because he committed matricide (killing his mother Clytemnestra), seeking vengeance for the death of his father (Agamemnon). The wrath of the Furies befalls Orestes due to his revenge while fulfilling familial duty. They persistently torture Orestes as a consequence of his crime.
