Achille d’Orsi (1845–1929) was an Italian sculptor known for his expressive and often dramatic works in marble and bronze, frequently depicting genre scenes, historical subjects, and poignant figures. Born in Naples, d’Orsi studied at the Naples Academy of Fine Arts, where he trained under prominent Neapolitan sculptors, absorbing the classical techniques and attention to anatomical detail that would mark his work.

D’Orsi became celebrated for his ability to combine realism with emotional intensity, often capturing intimate human moments or heightened theatrical gestures. His sculptures frequently reflect the influence of both Neoclassicism and Romanticism, balancing technical precision with evocative storytelling. Among his notable works are life-size figures and busts that demonstrate his skill in rendering intricate textures and subtle expressions, securing him a reputation as one of the foremost Italian sculptors of his era. 

His works were regularly exhibited in Italy and internationally, and many are preserved in museums and private collections, particularly in Naples, where he spent much of his career.
