EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century oil painting, titled "Ruggero and Angelica riding the hippoclaw (from Orlando furioso), " transports viewers into a world of fantasy and romance. Created by Johann Peter Krafft, a renowned German artist, this masterpiece depicts two beloved characters from Ludovic Arioste's epic poem "Orlando furioso" in vivid detail. In the painting, Ruggero (also known as Ruggiero) and Angelica are seen mounted on the back of a magnificent creature called the hippoclaw. With its wings spread wide and scales glistening under the sunlight, this dragon-like beast carries them through an enchanting landscape. The intricate brushwork brings to life every strand of hair on their heads and every fold in their clothing. As Ruggero gallantly holds onto Angelica while guiding their mythical steed, one can sense the deep connection between these two figures. Their love for each other is palpable even amidst danger and uncertainty. This portrayal captures not only their physical journey but also their emotional bond. Krafft's work exemplifies romanticism with its emphasis on heroism, adventure, and idealized love. The composition draws attention to both human figures against a backdrop of rolling hills and vibrant flora—a testament to his skillful use of color palette. Displayed at Akademie der Bildenden Kunste in Vienna, Austria, this remarkable piece continues to captivate audiences with its timeless depiction of courage intertwined with love—an enduring symbol that transcends time itself
