EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning folding fan adorned with the enchanting scene of "Rinaldo and Armida" after Francois Boucher. Created in the 18th century, this exquisite piece combines gouache and watercolor on double vellum and paper leaf, complemented by mother-of-pearl, gilding, and paste gems. The fan depicts a moment from Torquato Tasso's epic poem Gerusalemme Liberata, where the Saracen princess Armida is sent to assassinate the Crusader Rinaldo but unexpectedly finds herself falling deeply in love with him. The intricate details of this artwork capture the essence of chivalry and romance. This decorative accessory not only serves its practical purpose but also becomes an ornamental masterpiece that reflects the Rococo style popularized by Francois Boucher himself. With its delicate craftsmanship and elaborate design, it transports us back to a time when fans were essential fashion accessories for both men and women. Housed at the Dallas Museum of Art in Texas, USA as part of The Wendy and Emery Reves Collection, this folding fan represents an era filled with passion, elegance, and artistic expression. It reminds us of how art can intertwine different narratives to create timeless beauty that transcends generations.
