EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Astolfo on the Moon, stanza 70, canto XXXIV from The Frenzy of Orlando by Ludovico Ariosto" transports us into a fantastical world where imagination knows no bounds. Created by the talented artist Gustave Dore in 1879 for the French edition of this epic poem, the print depicts a pivotal moment in the story. In this scene, we witness Astolfo's extraordinary journey as he rides through the sky on a magnificent chariot pulled by powerful horses. With his flowing robes and determined expression, Astolfo appears both heroic and otherworldly. As he ascends to the moon's surface, we are reminded of his quest to restore lost sanity to Orlando. Dore's intricate engravings bring life and depth to Ariosto's words. The black-and-white palette adds an ethereal quality to this celestial adventure while emphasizing every intricate detail within each stroke. The contrast between light and shadow creates a sense of mystery that draws us further into this enchanting realm. The image captures not only our attention but also our curiosity about what lies beyond our earthly boundaries. It reminds us that literature has the power to transport us beyond reality and ignite our imaginations. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we cannot help but be captivated by its beauty and complexity—a testament to both Ariosto's timeless tale and Dore's artistic prowess.
