EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Rodomont breaks the doors of the Palais in Paris" takes us back to a pivotal moment in Ludovico Ariosto's epic poem, "Orlando furioso". Created by an unknown artist in the 19th century, this print beautifully captures the intensity and drama of one of the most iconic scenes from Italian literature. In this scene, Rodomont, a fierce Saracen warrior known for his strength and ferocity, is depicted forcefully breaking down the doors of the Palais in Paris. The sheer power emanating from his muscular frame is palpable as he unleashes his rage upon these imposing barriers. His determination to conquer all obstacles before him is evident through every stroke of this masterful engraving. The composition skillfully balances light and shadow, enhancing both Rodomont's formidable presence and the architectural grandeur of the Palais. The intricate details within each line showcase not only the artist's technical prowess but also their deep understanding of Ariosto's vivid descriptions. Published in 1851 as part of Gustave Harvard's edition translated by Count Tressan, this print serves as a testament to how timeless works like "Orlando furioso" continue to inspire artists across generations. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported into a world where heroes clash with villains amidst magnificent palaces – reminding us that art has an extraordinary ability to bring stories alive even centuries later.
