EDITORS COMMENTS
This oil on canvas painting by Anthony van Dyck, titled "Rinaldo and Armida" transports us to a world of enchantment and seduction. The scene depicts the lovers Rinaldo and Armida, characters from Torquato Tasso's epic poem "Jerusalem Delivered". Painted between 1629 and 1632, this masterpiece measures 133x109 cm and is housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris, France. In the painting, we witness Rinaldo gazing into a magic mirror held by Armida. Reflected in the mirror are putti, symbolizing love and desire. The composition also includes Ubaldo and Carlo, sent by Godfrey to rescue Rinaldo during the First Crusade. Van Dyck's exceptional skill as a Flemish painter shines through his meticulous attention to detail. Every brushstroke brings life to each character's expression and intricate costume. The artist masterfully captures the tension between duty and temptation that Rinaldo faces as he falls under Armida's spell. This moment frozen in time allows us to contemplate themes of love, power, war, and destiny. As we admire this print of "Rinaldo and Armida" we are reminded of Van Dyck's ability to transport us into another era with his artistry. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these timeless stories continue to captivate our imagination.
