EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating painting, "Erminia and Vafrino discover the wounded Tancrede" transports viewers to a scene of bravery and compassion. Created by Giovanni Costa dit Nino Costa in the 19th century, this artwork depicts a pivotal moment from Torquato Tasso's epic poem, "Jerusalem Delivered". In the midst of the First Crusade, Erminia (Herminie) and her loyal companion Vafrino stumble upon the injured Tancrede (Tancredi). Filled with empathy and determination, Erminia takes matters into her own hands. She cuts off her flowing locks to use them as bandages for Tancrede's wounds. This powerful image captures not only an act of rescue but also showcases the strength and resourcefulness of women. Erminia defies societal expectations by taking on a traditionally male role as caregiver. Her selflessness is evident in every stroke of paint on canvas. The artist skillfully portrays emotions through his brushwork, allowing us to feel both the urgency and tenderness present in this extraordinary encounter. The vibrant colors bring life to each character while highlighting their individuality within a larger narrative. Luisa Ricciarini's print beautifully preserves this masterpiece for generations to come. It serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries - it transcends time, language, and culture - touching our souls with its universal themes of love, courage, and humanity.
