EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating painting "Arion, 1891" by Gustave Moreau takes us on a journey to ancient Greece. This oil on panel masterpiece, measuring 45.5x37 cm, is housed in the Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee du Petit-Palais in France.

The male figure stands tall against a mesmerizing seascape backdrop as he plays his lyre with great passion and intensity. A majestic dolphin gracefully leaps out of the water beside him, representing both Arion's connection to nature and his legendary encounter with these intelligent creatures.

The artist seamlessly blends mythological elements with a touch of realism, creating an otherworldly ambiance that transports viewers back in time. This print offers art enthusiasts an opportunity to appreciate one of Moreau's most celebrated works while also delving into Greek mythology and its influence on artistic expression during the Symbolist movement.
