Orpheus 

This etching by Italian artist Giovanni Battista Piranesi depicts the Greek myth of Orpheus. Orpheus, known for his musical talent, is shown in the center of the composition, seated and gazing downwards while holding a lyre. He is surrounded by a scene of classical figures and architectural elements. The depiction is likely inspired by the Roman poet Virgil's tale of Orpheus' descent into the underworld to retrieve his beloved Eurydice. The artist’s dynamic composition and use of light and shadow create a sense of drama and depth. Piranesi was known for his detailed depictions of Roman architecture and his interest in classical mythology.
