"The Death of Orpheus" is a woodcut by the German Renaissance artist Albrecht Dürer, created in approximately 1494. This work is part of a series of illustrations that Dürer produced depicting scenes from Greek mythology, a subject that fascinated many artists of the Renaissance period. The woodcut portrays the tragic end of the mythological poet and musician Orpheus, who, according to ancient Greek legend, was capable of charming all living things and even stones with his music.

In the scene depicted by Dürer, Orpheus is shown meeting his violent death at the hands of the Maenads, the frenzied female followers of Dionysus, who were angered by his refusal to honor any god other than Apollo, the god of music. The artwork captures the moment of Orpheus's demise, with the Maenads attacking him with rocks and thyrsus staffs. Dürer's rendition is notable for its detailed representation of the figures and the landscape, as well as its dramatic composition.

The woodcut is an example of Dürer's early work and showcases his skill in the medium of woodcut printing, which he would continue to develop throughout his career. "The Death of Orpheus" reflects the Northern Renaissance's interest in classical antiquity and its narratives, as well as the technical and stylistic innovations that artists like Dürer were bringing to the traditional art forms of the time.

As with many of Dürer's prints, "The Death of Orpheus" would have been disseminated widely, contributing to the artist's fame and the spread of Renaissance ideas beyond Italy into Northern Europe. The piece remains an important example of Dürer's graphic works and is studied for its artistic merit and its role in the cultural exchange between the Italian Renaissance and the Northern Renaissance.
