About this work
Orpheus playing on his lyre and surrounded by animals meets the raging Maenads of Ciconia in Thrace who will attack and tear him apart, because he has no attention for women after the death of his beloved Eurydice. In the background more worshippers of Bacchus coming out of a temple.
