Nicolaes de Bruyn was the son of Abraham De Bruyn, and was born at Antwerp about 1570. He appears to have studied and to have formed his manner from the works of Lucas van Leyden. His compositions are abundant, but he wanted taste in the selection of his forms. He finished his plates very neatly with the graver. His works possess considerable merit. He died at Amsterdam in 1656.
Orpheus was a legendary musician, poet, and prophet in ancient Greek religion and myth. The major stories about him are centered on his ability to charm all living things and even stones with his music; his attempt to retrieve his wife, Eurydice, from the underworld; and his death at the hands of those who could not hear his divine music. As an archetype of the inspired singer, Orpheus is one of the most significant figures in the reception of classical mythology in Western culture, portrayed or alluded to in countless forms of art and popular culture including poetry, opera, and painting.
