EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Rinaldo and Armida". François Boucher skillfully brings to life a scene from Torquato Tasso's epic poem, Jerusalem Delivered. The delicate pen and brown ink strokes, enhanced by the subtle brown and pink washes over black chalk on paper, create an enchanting atmosphere that transports us into a world of love and passion. The image depicts a clandestine meeting between Rinaldo and Armida, two lovers entangled in an illicit affair. As they embrace amidst lush surroundings, their horses patiently wait nearby, symbolizing the urgency of their tryst. With his quiver full of arrows at his side, Rinaldo stands tall as the embodiment of masculine strength while Armida gazes adoringly at him. Surrounding the couple are playful cherubs or putti who add a touch of whimsy to this rococo masterpiece. These mischievous little beings seem to celebrate love itself as they flutter around with bows and arrows in hand. Boucher's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke; he captures not only the physical beauty but also the emotional intensity shared by these star-crossed lovers. Through his artistry, we are reminded of the timeless power that love holds over our hearts. This exquisite print serves as both a visual feast for our eyes and an invitation to delve deeper into Tasso's poetic narrative. It is truly a treasure within any private collection lucky enough to possess it.
