1912 Arion & Dolphin by Ernest Hiolle

This 1912 antique silver gelatin real photo postcard features the remarkable “Arion Seated on a Dolphin” by the distinguished French sculptor Ernest Hiolle. Hiolle, celebrated for his classical and allegorical figures, brings to life the myth of Arion, a legendary musician who pirates kidnaped and miraculously rescued by dolphins. This piece, created in 1870, is a testament to Hiolle’s skill in capturing the drama and beauty of mythological tales.

The postcard, measuring 5 x 3.5 inches, has been trimmed in the past, removing approximately 9 mm from the bottom where a description of the piece would have been found. Despite this, it remains a stunning representation of Hiolle’s work and the timeless story of Arion.
