EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Giovanni Battista Tiepolo's masterpiece, "Rinaldo and Armida in Her Garden". Painted between 1742-45, this oil on canvas artwork measures an impressive 186.7x259.4 cm and is housed at The Art Institute of Chicago. In this scene from Torquato Tasso's epic poem "Jerusalem Delivered" we witness the enchanting Saracen sorceress Armida as she enters her garden with a sinister mission to kill the crusader Rinaldo while he sleeps. However, fate takes an unexpected turn as Armida finds herself falling deeply in love with him instead. The painting beautifully portrays the conflicting emotions of both characters - Rinaldo's vulnerability in his slumber and Armida's internal struggle between her duty and newfound affection. The lush garden setting adds to the romantic ambiance, creating a backdrop that enhances their emotional entanglement. Tiepolo skillfully brings Tasso's literary masterpiece to life through his masterful brushstrokes and attention to detail. The composition exudes a sense of tension, passion, and longing that resonates with viewers even centuries later. This print serves as a testament to Tiepolo's genius as well as an invitation for us to delve into the rich world of literature where knights clash against saracens, love blossoms amidst chaos, and gardens become arenas for both battle and romance.
