EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 9 for Ariosto's 'Orlando Furioso' by Daniel Berger, 1772: A Captivating Depiction of Love, Anger, and the Passing of Seasons This enchanting etching, Plate 9 for Ludovico Ariosto's epic poem 'Orlando Furioso,' was created by the skilled German artist Daniel Berger in 1772. The image is taken from the Almanac Genealogique published that year. The scene unfolds with Orlando, a knight from the famous poem, in a moment of intense emotion, having been driven mad with love and jealousy. He is depicted on horseback, his face contorted in anguish, as he falls from his horse. The horse, sensing its rider's distress, rears up in alarm, adding to the chaotic scene. Surrounding Orlando are various animals, including a dog and a pair of parasols, which may symbolize the fleeting nature of love and the passage of time. The animals, along with the fallen rider, are set against a backdrop of a rural landscape, with trees displaying autumnal colors, indicating the fall season. The intricate details in Berger's illustration are a testament to the artist's skill and the enduring appeal of Ariosto's literary masterpiece. The black and white etching, with its delicate lettering and meticulous attention to clothing and accessories, is a captivating glimpse into the fashion and art of the 18th century. This etching, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is a reminder of the rich heritage of European art and literature, and the enduring power of storytelling through visual art.
