"Orpheus Charming the Animals" is an engraving by Frederik Bouttats the Elder, a Flemish engraver and printmaker of the Baroque period. The work is based on the ancient Greek myth of Orpheus, a legendary musician, poet, and prophet whose music had the supernatural ability to charm all living things and even inanimate objects. In the myth, Orpheus's playing of the lyre enchanted wild beasts and drew them to his side in peaceful awe, a moment that has been a popular subject for artists throughout history.

Frederik Bouttats I, born in Antwerp in the early 17th century, was part of the prolific Bouttats family of engravers. His work often included religious subjects, portraits, and mythological scenes, and he was known for his detailed and intricate style. "Orpheus Charming the Animals" exemplifies Bouttats's skill in composition and his ability to capture the essence of the mythological narrative.

The engraving typically depicts Orpheus seated in a natural setting, surrounded by a variety of animals that are captivated by his music. The scene is a testament to the harmonizing power of art and the belief in the civilizing influence of culture, themes that were resonant during the Baroque period. The artwork reflects the era's artistic values, including an emphasis on drama, rich detail, and the interplay of light and shadow.

While the exact date of creation for "Orpheus Charming the Animals" is not well-documented, it is representative of Frederik Bouttats's body of work during the 17th century.
