EDITORS COMMENTS
This design for a wall painting, created by Elias van Nijmegen between the late 17th and early 18th centuries, showcases the iconic scene of Armida finding Rinaldo asleep. The design is a stunning representation of the popular literary character Armida from Torquato Tasso's epic poem "Jerusalem Delivered" or "Gerusalemme Liberata." Armida, a powerful enchantress, is depicted in rich, vibrant colors and intricate detail. She is shown in an exterior setting, with the lush greenery and outdoor elements surrounding her, adding to the enchanting atmosphere. In contrast, Rinaldo, the brave knight, is depicted in a peaceful slumber, his strong, masculine form contrasting with the delicate, ethereal quality of Armida. The design is a masterful blend of ink, pencil, watercolor paint, and color, showcasing Van Nijmegen's exceptional artistic skill. The use of ink and pencil adds depth and texture to the intricate details, while the watercolor paint brings the scene to life with its rich, vibrant hues. This design for a wall painting is a testament to the enduring popularity of Tasso's poem and the captivating story of Armida and Rinaldo. It is a beautiful example of the artistic heritage of the 17th and 18th centuries and a must-see for any art or literature enthusiast. The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam is fortunate to have this design in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the artistic mastery of Elias van Nijmegen and the timeless story of "Jerusalem Delivered.
