EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1851 depicts a scene from the renowned Italian poem "Orlando furioso" by Ludovico Ariosto. The print showcases Alcina, a powerful sorceress, and her court eagerly welcoming Ruggiero (also known as Roger or Ruggero) to their presence. Created by an unknown artist of the 19th century, this exquisite piece is part of a private collection. The image captures the enchanting allure of Alcina's realm as she and her entourage gather around Ruggiero with great anticipation. The artist skillfully portrays the magical atmosphere through intricate details and delicate strokes. Ariosto's epic poem tells the tale of Orlando, a knight who embarks on various adventures in pursuit of love and glory. In this particular moment, Ruggiero finds himself at Alcina's island where he becomes ensnared in her seductive charms. This encounter plays a significant role in his journey as he must resist temptation to fulfill his destiny. Translated into French by the Count of Tressan and published by Gustave Harvard in 1851, Ariosto's work continues to captivate readers with its rich storytelling and vivid characters. This engraving beautifully brings one such moment to life, showcasing both the literary genius behind Ariosto's words and the artistic talent that breathes new life into his narrative. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported into a world filled with magic, intrigue, and timeless tales spun by
