EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 5 for Ariosto's 'Orlando Furioso' by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki and Daniel Berger, 1772, is an exquisite etching from the Almanac Genealogique of that year. This image is a depiction of the Italian epic poem 'Orlando Furioso' written by Ludovico Ariosto in the early 16th century. The story revolves around the Christian knight Orlando and his passionate love for the pagan princess Angelica, set against the backdrop of the war between Charlemagne's Christian paladins and the Saracen army that has invaded Europe. In this etching, Chodowiecki and Berger have masterfully captured the moment when Orlando, having been driven mad with jealousy, is shown in a fit of rage, chained to a tree while a giant holds him captive on horseback. The intricate details of the figures, the textured landscape, and the delicate lettering all contribute to the richness and depth of this historic work. The image is a testament to the cultural heritage of Europe in the 18th century, and its black and white tones add to the timeless and classic quality of the artwork. The etching, laid down on paper, is a stunning example of the artistry and craftsmanship of the time. This piece is a must-see for anyone with an interest in literature, history, or the arts, and is a valuable addition to any collection or exhibition. Currently, this Plate 5 for Ariosto's 'Orlando Furioso' by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki and Daniel Berger is housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), adding to the museum's impressive collection of European art and literary history.
