- Lot Description
European, probably Germany, ca. 16th century. Woodblock - Theme: Arion Sings a Song to the Dolphins. A woodblock print depicting Arion, the ancient Greek Dionysiac poet known not only for his musicality and invention of dithyramb (a choral composition sung and danced to in order to honor Dionysos, the god of wine, merriment, and fertility) but also for a myth that featured dolphins who rescued Arion from pirates who had kidnapped him. Here we see Arion standing aboard a vessel, playing a lyre and singing a song to the dolphins in the sea below as musicians accompany his song before a cathedral. Size of image: 6.125" W x 4" H (15.6 cm x 10.2 cm) Size of frame: 13.625" W x 11" H (34.6 cm x 27.9 cm)
Handwritten on the verso, "Arion singt den delphinen ein lied" which translates to, "Arion sings a song to the dolphins". The attribution below is difficult to discern; however, the year 1540 is legible.
Provenance: ex Stein collection, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, USA, acquired prior to 2010
