EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration from "Orlando Furioso" by Ludovico Ariosto, brought to life by the talented Gustave Dore. The image depicts a pivotal moment in the epic poem, where Ruggiero valiantly rescues Angelica from her perilous fate. As the daughter of the King of Cathay, Angelica becomes the object of desire for renowned knights such as Orlando and Rinaldo. However, she finds herself stripped of all protection and chained to a rock in the sea, destined to be sacrificed to a fearsome sea monster. In this colorized version of Dore's artwork, we witness Ruggiero emerging as her savior. With his unwavering courage and determination, he frees Angelica from her chains and bestows upon her a ring that grants invisibility. This enchanting scene captures both the danger faced by Angelica and the heroism displayed by Ruggiero. The intricate details within this illustration transport us back to 16th-century Italy when Ariosto's masterpiece was first published. It is a testament not only to Dore's artistic prowess but also to his ability to breathe life into literary works through visual representation. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of artistry, we are reminded of how literature and art intertwine throughout history. This print serves as an homage not only to two great artists but also to their respective contributions in shaping our understanding of romance, mythology, and Renaissance culture.
