This relief by Hubert Quellinus depicts the Greek myth of Arion, a famous musician who was thrown overboard by sailors. A dolphin saved Arion and brought him to shore, illustrating the power of music and the beauty of nature. The detailed engraving, likely created between 1663 and 1783, captures the dramatic moment with precise lines and subtle shading. Located in the Rijksmuseum, this work showcases the artistic talents of Quellinus and the rich history of Dutch art.
