EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic scene from Torquato Tasso's epic poem, "Jerusalem Delivered" where Eustathius intercedes on behalf of Armida with Godfrey of Bouillon. Painted by David Teniers the Younger in 1628-1630, this oil on copper masterpiece measures 27x39 and is housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid. In this Baroque artwork, we witness a powerful exchange between two central characters amidst a military camp during the Crusades. Armida, an enchanting woman dressed elegantly in flowing garments, kneels before Godfrey of Bouillon, who dons his armor as a symbol of his authority and leadership. The aged tent behind them hints at their location within the Middle East. The painting exudes tension and emotion as Eustathius pleads for mercy on behalf of Armida. His prostration and salutation demonstrate his deep respect for Godfrey while emphasizing the gravity of her plea. The surrounding soldiers bear witness to this pivotal moment with expressions ranging from curiosity to concern. Teniers masterfully brings Tasso's literary work to life through vivid brushstrokes that capture every detail - from Armida's delicate features to Godfrey's stern countenance. This Flemish artist skillfully combines elements of magic and passion within a historical context, transporting viewers back to the 16th century when literature was intertwined with art. As we gaze upon this timeless piece, we are reminded not only
