EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Gustave Dore's enchanting illustration of a pivotal moment in Ludovico Ariosto's epic poem, Orlando Furioso. Entitled "Alcinas beauty overcomes all of Ruggieros misgivings" the image transports us to Canto 7:16, where the power of seduction and beauty takes center stage. Dore masterfully captures the essence of Alcina, a sorceress whose irresistible allure captivates Ruggiero, a valiant knight plagued by doubt. In this mesmerizing scene, we witness Alcina's bewitching presence as she effortlessly overcomes Ruggiero's reservations with her ethereal charm. The intricate details in Dore's engraving bring Ariosto's words to life. Every stroke reveals the delicate features that make Alcina so irresistible – her flowing locks cascading down her shoulders, eyes sparkling with mischief, and lips curved into an enticing smile. The artist skillfully portrays both characters' emotions; Ruggiero torn between his doubts and desires while Alcina exudes confidence in her ability to ensnare him. This artwork not only celebrates Italian poet Ludovico Ariosto but also pays homage to French artist Gustave Dore for his exceptional talent in capturing literary moments through visual artistry. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the timeless themes explored within literature - temptation, deception, and the transformative power of love. Patrice Cartier expertly
