Created by Bernard Picart in the 18th century, this exquisite print is a part of his renowned work, The Temple of the Muses. The scene depicted here showcases Arion, a legendary poet and musician from ancient Greece. Riding atop a majestic dolphin, he is surrounded by Jason and the Argonauts as they embark on their epic journey. Picart's intricate engravings beautifully capture this remarkable event from antiquity.

This particular piece exemplifies his mastery in capturing both human figures and wildlife with great detail. As we gaze upon this enchanting artwork, we are transported to a time when mythological tales held immense power over people's imagination.
