EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 16th-century print by Aegidius Sadeler II, we are transported into the enchanting world of Ludovico Ariosto's epic poem "Orlando Furioso". The scene depicts Angelica and Medoro, two star-crossed lovers who have found solace in a serene woodland setting. As they stand beside a babbling stream, Medoro delicately carves their names into the trunk of a majestic tree, forever immortalizing their love. The intricate details of this engraving bring to life the mythical atmosphere surrounding these characters. A putto seated at the left holds a torch, symbolizing the eternal flame of passion that burns within them. Another putto approaches with a gentle goat, perhaps representing fertility and abundance in their relationship. Sadeler's masterful craftsmanship is evident in his ability to capture both the natural beauty of the forest and the tender emotions shared between Angelica and Medoro. Every stroke on this print exudes an air of romance and longing. As viewers, we are invited to delve into this poetic realm where literature intertwines with artistry. It serves as a reminder that even amidst chaos or adversity, love can flourish like delicate flowers in nature's embrace. This exquisite portrayal by Aegidius Sadeler II stands as testament to his skill as an artist and his deep appreciation for Ariosto's timeless tale.
