EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we are transported to the enchanting world of Ludovico Ariosto's epic poem "Orlando furioso". Illustrated by Gustave Dore in 1878, the scene depicts Alcina and Ruggiero as blissful lovers enjoying a peaceful day of fishing. The couple is portrayed on a small boat, gently gliding across calm waters. Their expressions radiate happiness and contentment as they bask in each other's company. Alcina, a sorceress known for her seductive powers, has found true love with Ruggiero, a valiant knight. Dore's intricate engraving captures every detail with precision and elegance. The delicate lines bring life to the flowing robes of Alcina and the armor-clad Ruggiero. The artist skillfully portrays tenderness between them through their intertwined hands and affectionate gaze. This illustration not only showcases Dore's artistic prowess but also highlights the timeless themes present in Ariosto's work – love, magic, and adventure. It serves as a visual representation of an important moment in Canto 7:32 where Alcina tries to keep Ruggiero under her spell by offering him temporary happiness. As we admire this beautiful print from Patrice Cartier's collection on Fine Art Finder, we are reminded of the power that art holds to transport us into fantastical realms filled with romance and intrigue.
