"Arion" is a renowned bronze sculpture created by the Italian Renaissance artist Bertoldo di Giovanni (circa 1440–1491), a pupil of Donatello and a teacher of Michelangelo. The work is believed to have been crafted in the late 15th century, showcasing Bertoldo's mastery in bronze casting and his ability to convey narrative through sculpture. The piece depicts the ancient Greek myth of Arion, a legendary poet and musician who was said to have been saved from drowning by a dolphin charmed by his music.

The sculpture stands out for its dynamic composition and the expressive details that Bertoldo has infused into the scene. Arion is portrayed in the act of playing his lyre, riding on the back of a dolphin, which emerges from the sea with vigorous motion. The fluidity of the waves and the graceful lines of the dolphin's body contrast with the detailed rendering of Arion's features and attire, creating a harmonious blend of naturalism and idealization that is characteristic of the early Renaissance.

Bertoldo di Giovanni's "Arion" reflects the humanist interest of the time in classical antiquity and its stories. The work not only serves as a testament to the artist's technical skill and creative imagination but also provides insight into the cultural and intellectual milieu of the Medici court, where Bertoldo was closely associated. The sculpture is an important piece within Bertoldo's oeuvre and contributes significantly to the understanding of the development of Renaissance art in Florence.

Today, "Arion" is recognized as an important example of Renaissance bronze sculpture and is studied for its aesthetic qualities and historical context. It is held in high regard by art historians and is considered a valuable piece for any collection of Italian Renaissance art. The sculpture can be found in the collection of the Bargello Museum in Florence, Italy, where it continues to be admired by scholars and the public alike.
