EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Canto 13, Stanza 38, from Orlando Furioso" transports us back to the enchanting world of Ludovico Ariosto's epic poem. Created by Nicolas de Launay in the late 18th century, this etching and engraving beautifully captures a powerful moment within the literary masterpiece. In this scene, we witness a fierce battle unfolding between knights clad in suits of armor. The artist skillfully portrays their strength and determination as they engage in combat with swords raised high. Amidst the chaos of war, men and women alike fight valiantly for their cause. The lighting is particularly striking in this artwork - an oil lamp illuminates the scene, casting dramatic shadows on the warriors' faces. It adds an element of intensity to their expressions and emphasizes the gravity of their actions. Launay's attention to detail is evident throughout every stroke of his engraving tool. From intricate armor designs to flowing robes and delicate facial features, each figure comes alive on paper. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print serves as a testament to both Ariosto's enduring poetry and Launay's artistic talent. It invites viewers into a world where literature meets visual artistry – where words are transformed into images that evoke emotion and ignite our imagination. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from centuries past, we can't help but be reminded of the timeless power that great works of art possess – transcending time and space to
