Aubusson tapestry "Orpheus Charming the Birds" Élie Grekoff, Pinto Workshop

Large tapestry "Orpheus Charming the Birds", signed Élie Grekoff and created by the Ateliers Pinto. A rare scene where Orpheus is depicted entirely nude, surrounded by captivated birds, in a dense and poetic composition. The warm, patinated tones are interwoven with vegetal motifs. Dimensions: 145 X 169 cm. A striking piece, almost museum-like. Orpheus, a mythological figure suspended between nature and music, stands here completely nude, surrounded by birds drawn by an invisible harmony. A rare, almost unsettling representation, where the body is treated with great softness, straightforwardly, as an obvious truth. This large tapestry signed Élie Grekoff and created by the Ateliers Pinto unfolds a dense and organic scene, where the foliage, branches, and birds seem to vibrate to the rhythm of the central character. The brown, golden, and slightly patinated tones anchor the whole in a warm, almost mineral palette that perfectly dialogues with contemporary interiors. The subject, inspired by Orpheus Charming the Animals, is here revisited with an uncommon freedom and sensuality in the world of tapestry. A work that is both decorative and narrative, capturing the gaze and imposing a strong presence without ever being static. Artist: Élie Grekoff. Workshop: Ateliers Pinto (Aubusson). Subject: Orpheus.
