EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil painting, titled "Angelica and Medoro" by Laurent de La Hyre, transports us to a world of religious legend and timeless romance. The scene depicts Angelica and Medoro, two figures from Ludovico Ariosto's epic poem Orlando Furioso, engaged in an intimate moment amidst the picturesque countryside. The artist's skillful use of color and composition brings this 17th-century masterpiece to life. The soft hues of nature create a serene backdrop for the couple's clandestine affair. A little cherubin perched on a tree adds an ethereal touch to the scene. Seated beneath a majestic tree, Angelica gazes lovingly at her companion while Medoro reciprocates her affection with tender gestures. Their full-length postures convey their deep connection as they elope into the arms of nature. La Hyre's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing the essence of this romantic encounter. The play of light and shadow enhances the emotional intensity between these star-crossed lovers. As we admire this exquisite artwork, we are reminded of the power that art holds in immortalizing moments of love and passion throughout history. "Angelica and Medoro" stands as a testament to both human emotion and artistic brilliance, inviting us into its poetic narrative with each glance.
