EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in the epic tale of "The Furious Roland" by Ludovico Ariosto. Illustrated by Gustave Dore, it depicts Astolph (Astolfo) embarking on an extraordinary journey to the moon, riding Eliass chariot. The composition is rich with symbolism and imagination. In this scene, Astolph sets off on his mission to retrieve Rolands reason from the moon. The ethereal glow of the lunar landscape adds an otherworldly ambiance to the image, emphasizing the fantastical nature of his quest. With his steely determination and unwavering resolve, Astolph stands tall in the chariot as it soars through space. Dore's meticulous attention to detail brings every element of this illustration to life. From the intricate coupling mechanism that connects Eliass chariot to its celestial horses, to each fold in Astolph's flowing robes, no aspect is overlooked. This level of craftsmanship transports viewers into a realm where literature meets art. The print not only showcases Dore's artistic prowess but also pays homage to Ariosto's enduring literary masterpiece. It serves as a visual representation of one man's heroic journey through time and space in pursuit of truth and purpose. Giancarlo Costa has preserved this remarkable artwork for future generations, allowing us all to marvel at its beauty and immerse ourselves in its narrative magic once more.
