EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-century engraving depicts a scene from the renowned Italian epic poem, "Orlando Furioso" by Ludovico Ariosto. The print showcases Ruggiero, the valiant rescuer, in his quest to save Angelica. As the viewer gazes upon this artwork, they are transported into a world of mythological wonders and heroic feats. Ruggiero is depicted as a strong and determined man adorned in armor, showcasing his readiness for battle. With unwavering determination, he soars through the sky on the back of a magnificent hippogriff - a mythical creature with wings like an eagle and body like that of a horse. This fantastical element adds an air of enchantment to the composition. In contrast to Ruggiero's armored appearance, Angelica appears vulnerable and ethereal as she clings onto him for dear life. Her nudity serves as a symbol of her innocence and purity amidst chaos. The artist skillfully captures their emotional connection while highlighting their contrasting roles within this epic tale. The intricate details within this print highlight both its artistic mastery and its significance within Italian literature. It serves as a testament to Ariosto's enduring legacy as one of Italy's greatest poets. Granger Art on Demand presents this exquisite piece from their collection with pride, allowing viewers to appreciate not only the beauty but also the historical importance behind it.
