EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning drawing by Gustave Dore (1832-1883) for the renowned poem "Furious Roland" ("Orlando furioso") by Ludovico Ariosto, also known as the Ariosta. The engraving was featured in "Le Journal de la jeunesse" in 1885 and is now part of a private collection. In this intricate artwork, Dore skillfully captures a moment of intense emotion and action. A horseman charges forward with his lance raised high, surrounded by a bustling crowd. His arm is adorned with armor, ready to engage in battle against unseen foes. This depiction evokes the spirit of chivalry and valor that permeates the medieval age. The composition also hints at deeper themes within the poem itself. The presence of capital sins suggests that this scene represents more than just physical combat; it symbolizes an internal struggle against one's own vices. The artist masterfully conveys anger and rage through his use of shading and contrast, creating a powerful visual representation of furious emotions. Through this black-and-white medium, Stefano Bianchetti beautifully brings to life the essence of middle age turmoil and passion. This print serves as a reminder not only of Dore's exceptional artistic talent but also Ariosto's timeless literary work that continues to captivate audiences centuries later.
