Arion Saved by a Dolphin, 1733 - A Captivating Tale of Music and Rescue
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print, created by the renowned artist Bernard Picart in 1733, depicts a remarkable moment from Greek mythology. The scene portrays Arion, a talented poet and musician from ancient Greece, being saved from certain death by a benevolent dolphin. In this enchanting artwork found in the collection of Jean Claude Carriere, we witness Arion playing his lyre while standing on the back of the majestic sea creature. The powerful bond between man and animal is beautifully captured as they navigate through turbulent waters towards safety. Picart's intricate engraving skillfully brings to life this extraordinary tale that has captivated audiences for centuries. Arion's occupation as a singer adds an additional layer of significance to the narrative - his music not only entertains but also serves as salvation in times of distress. This print transports us back to the 18th century France where art flourished alongside literature and mythology. It reminds us of the enduring power of storytelling across time and cultures. As we gaze upon this monochrome masterpiece, we are reminded that even amidst adversity, there is hope for rescue. Whether it be through our own talents or unexpected allies like dolphins, we can find solace in knowing that help may come when least expected. Bernard Picart's artistic prowess shines through every stroke in this eighteenth-century gem – an exquisite reminder that art transcends boundaries and continues to inspire generations
