EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the masterpiece "Rinaldo and Armida" by Richard Cosway, a renowned artist of the 18th century. Inspired by Torquato Tasso's epic poem "Jerusalem Delivered" this painting transports us to an ancient civilization filled with enchantment and mythical tales. In the image, we see Rinaldo and Armida in a moment of intense emotion. Rinaldo, depicted as a muscular figure with curly hair, kneels before Armida who sits gracefully on a robe. His shield lies beside him while he holds a bow, symbolizing his warrior nature. Meanwhile, Armida's nakedness is partially covered by her flowing robes. The scene takes place against the backdrop of intricate architecture that evokes grandeur and mystique. Cupid can be seen flying above them, adding an element of love and desire to their story. Surrounding them are numerous figures - men, women, boys - all captivated by this dramatic encounter between Rinaldo and Armida. The composition is horizontal in nature, emphasizing the vastness of this historical setting. This print captures not only Cosway's masterful technique but also the essence of 16th-century artistry. It invites us to delve into a world where mythology intertwines with human emotions and explores themes such as love, war, and destiny. Displayed outdoors at Albertina Museum's collection of graphic art in Vienna (not for commercial use), this artwork continues to inspire awe among viewers
