Sulla scultura
By playing the violin, Orpheus hoped to persuade the three-headed dog Cerberus to allow him to enter the underworld, to find and bring back his wife Eurydice.This bronze is known to have belonged to a Delft silversmith, Thomas Cruse. It was inspired by a marble statue made in 1598 by Pietro Francavilla, one of Giambologna’s main assistants.
