EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas print, titled "Ruggiero at the court of the sorceress Alcina" transports viewers to a world of enchantment and forbidden love. Painted by Rutilio Manetti in 1624, this masterpiece measures an impressive 179.5 x 204.5 cm and is housed in the Palatine Gallery at Pitti Palace in Florence. The scene depicted here is from Ludovico Ariosto's epic poem "Orlando furioso". Ruggiero, a brave knight, finds himself entranced by the sorceress Alcina's magical allure. In this particular moment captured by Manetti, Ruggiero leans close to Alcina and whispers his secret confession of love during an evening where everyone must reveal their hidden desires. The painting exudes a sense of mystery and intrigue as we witness this clandestine exchange between two star-crossed lovers. The lighting adds depth to the composition, casting shadows that heighten the drama unfolding before our eyes. Luisa Ricciarini beautifully captures this romantic encounter through her lens, preserving every brushstroke with utmost detail. Her photograph not only showcases Manetti's artistic prowess but also highlights the timeless themes of human connection and communication found within literature and art. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the power that love holds over us all – its ability to transcend boundaries and ignite passion even in seemingly impossible circumstances.
