EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Angelica Kauffmann's masterpiece, "Rinaldo and Armida" painted in 1771. The oil on canvas artwork measures an impressive 130.8x153 cm and is currently housed at the Yale Center for British Art as part of the esteemed Paul Mellon Collection in the USA. Inspired by Torquato Tasso's epic poem, "Gerusalemme liberata" (1575), this painting depicts a pivotal moment between Rinaldo, an Italian hero, and Armida, a seductive Saracen girl. As we gaze upon the scene, we witness Armida unveiling her true intentions to Rinaldo through a mirror she holds delicately adorned with flowers. The composition exudes sensuality and intrigue as Armida attempts to seduce Rinaldo while surrounded by a garland of vibrant blooms. The artist skillfully captures their complex emotions through subtle brushstrokes and masterful use of light and shadow. Kauffmann's rendition beautifully conveys the tension between desire and duty that exists within these characters' hearts. It serves as a testament to her talent for storytelling through art. As viewers explore this remarkable piece, they are transported into the world of Tasso's enchanting narrative – one filled with love, betrayal, and heroic quests. This print allows us to appreciate Kauffmann's artistic prowess while immersing ourselves in this timeless tale from centuries past.
