EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Ruggiero rescuing Angelica" transports us to the fantastical world of Ludovico Ariosto's epic poem Orlando Furioso. Created by Gustave Doré in 1888, this print beautifully captures a pivotal moment from Canto X of the poem. In this dramatic scene, Ruggiero, a valiant knight and hero, emerges as the savior of Angelica. Bound by chains and trapped on a rocky shore, she is at the mercy of a fearsome sea monster with wings and claws. With his armor gleaming under stormy skies, Ruggiero fearlessly confronts the beast armed with spear and shield. The image exudes both romance and danger as it depicts an erotic encounter between these two characters. The vulnerability of Angelica contrasts with Ruggiero's strength and determination to rescue her from certain doom. Doré's masterful engraving skillfully portrays every intricate detail - from the texture of their armors to the menacing expression on the dragon's face. The composition draws our eyes towards Ruggiero as he battles against all odds to save his beloved. This artwork not only showcases Doré's artistic prowess but also pays homage to Ariosto's timeless tale that has captivated audiences for centuries. It serves as a testament to how literature can inspire visual artistry that transcends time and brings stories vividly to life.
