"Orpheus Charming The Animals" is a painting by French artist Gustave Surand, created in 1891. The work is a visual representation of the ancient Greek myth of Orpheus, a legendary musician, poet, and prophet known for his ability to charm all living things with his music. In the myth, Orpheus's playing was so beautiful that it could calm wild beasts and even coax the trees and rocks into movement.

Surand's painting captures the moment when Orpheus, seated and playing his lyre, is surrounded by a variety of animals that are drawn to him and are listening intently to his music. The animals depicted in the painting are rendered with a high degree of realism, reflecting Surand's academic training and his skill in portraying the natural world. The composition is harmonious and peaceful, emphasizing the magical quality of Orpheus's music and its effect on the animal kingdom.

Gustave Surand (1860–1937) was a 19th-century French painter known for his historical and mythological scenes. He studied under Alexandre Cabanel and William-Adolphe Bouguereau, two prominent academic painters of the time. Surand exhibited his works at the Paris Salon, where he received recognition and accolades for his artistic talent.

"Orpheus Charming The Animals" is an example of Surand's interest in classical themes and his ability to infuse them with a sense of romanticism and wonder. The painting reflects the broader cultural fascination with ancient myths during the 19th century, a period that saw a revival of interest in classical antiquity in the arts. Surand's work contributes to the rich tapestry of Orpheus-related art, which includes paintings, sculptures, and musical compositions inspired by the enduring story of the mythical musician.

The painting is part of the collection of the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Nantes in France, where it continues to be appreciated by audiences for its aesthetic qualities and its evocative portrayal of one of the most enchanting myths of ancient Greece.
