Orpheus (Orphée) is a renowned sculpture created by the French artist Émile-Antoine Bourdelle, a pivotal figure in the transition from traditional 19th-century sculpture to modern 20th-century forms. Bourdelle, a student of Auguste Rodin, is celebrated for his dynamic and expressive works that often draw inspiration from mythology and classical themes. Orpheus, crafted in 1909, is one of Bourdelle's most significant pieces, embodying his innovative approach to form and movement.

The sculpture depicts Orpheus, the legendary musician, poet, and prophet from ancient Greek mythology, known for his ability to charm all living things and even inanimate objects with his music. Bourdelle's interpretation captures the moment of Orpheus's profound sorrow and determination as he attempts to retrieve his beloved wife, Eurydice, from the underworld. The figure of Orpheus is rendered with a powerful sense of emotion and physicality, showcasing Bourdelle's mastery in conveying complex human experiences through sculpture.

Bourdelle's Orpheus is notable for its departure from the highly polished surfaces typical of classical sculpture. Instead, Bourdelle employs a more textured and expressive surface treatment, which adds to the emotional intensity of the piece. The sculpture's dynamic composition, with Orpheus's body twisted in a moment of dramatic tension, reflects Bourdelle's interest in capturing movement and the inner life of his subjects.

Orpheus has been exhibited in various prestigious venues and remains a significant work in Bourdelle's oeuvre. It exemplifies his contribution to modern sculpture and his ability to blend classical themes with contemporary artistic sensibilities. The piece continues to be studied and admired for its innovative approach and emotional depth, securing Bourdelle's legacy as a transformative figure in the history of sculpture.
