What does the curator team of the Petit Palais - Musée des Beaux-arts de la Ville de Paris state about the 19th century work of art from the painter and sculptor Gustave Moreau? (© Copyright - Petit Palais - Musée des Beaux-arts de la Ville de Paris - www.petitpalais.paris.fr)

The painting depicts the poet Arion, saved from drowning, carried by a dolphin. Standing on the animal, richly dressed and wearing a golden laurel wreath, it strum lyre that holds up above it. The rocks which limit the horizon silhouetted against a stormy sky illuminated by the setting sun. Seagulls fly over the waves.

In Greco-Roman mythology, Arion is a musician from Methymna on the island of Lesbos. Herodotus tells that, returning from Taranto, Arion was seized by pirates; before being thrown into the sea, he asked to sing one last time and dolphins, attracted by his music brought him back to earth safe and sound.
