EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1851 depicts a dramatic scene from the renowned epic poem "Furious Roland" (Orlando furioso) by Ludovico Ariosto. The print, titled "Bradamante terrassee by a giant" showcases the artistic talent of an unknown 19th-century artist. In this powerful image, we witness Bradamante, one of the poem's heroic characters, being overpowered by a colossal giant. The intensity and emotion conveyed through the intricate lines and shading draw us into this climactic moment of struggle and peril. Ariosto's masterpiece takes inspiration from various legends and myths, weaving them together in an enthralling narrative filled with adventure, romance, and fantastical creatures. This particular scene captures the essence of its action-packed storyline. Published in Gustave Harvard's edition translated from Italian by the Count of Tressan in 1851, this engraving brings to life Ariosto's vivid imagination while paying homage to his enduring literary legacy. It serves as a testament to both the timeless appeal of classical literature and the skillful craftsmanship employed by artists throughout history. Preserved within a private collection today, this print allows us to appreciate not only Ariosto's storytelling prowess but also the talents of those who have interpreted his work visually over time. As we gaze upon it now, we are transported back centuries ago to witness Bradamante's valiant struggle against overwhelming odds – forever frozen in ink on paper for our contemplation.
