EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to a dramatic battle scene, inspired by Ludovico Ariosto's renowned epic poem "Orlando Furioso". Engraved by Jean Francois Prosper Delduc, this illustration vividly depicts the war between Christian Emperor Charlemagne and the Saracen King Agramante as they clash on the battlefield. The image showcases Orlando, one of the legendary paladins, consumed by rage as he fights valiantly against his enemies. The intensity of the moment is palpable as soldiers engage in fierce combat with spears and shields. Knights adorned in coats of mail charge forward on horseback, their steeds galloping fearlessly into battle. This engraving captures not only the physicality of warfare but also reflects upon themes of chivalry and religious conflict prevalent during that era. The juxtaposition between Christians and Saracens symbolizes a clash of cultures and ideologies. Gustave Dore's masterful interpretation brings life to Ariosto's words, immersing viewers in an epic tale filled with heroism and sacrifice. Through this artwork, we are reminded of the enduring power of storytelling through visual mediums. Displayed at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this historic piece serves as a testament to artistic excellence while preserving significant moments from history for generations to come.
