EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Tancred and Erminia, c. 1635" by Nicolas Poussin transports viewers to a scene from the epic poem "Jerusalem Delivered" by Torquato Tasso. This masterpiece, housed in The Barber Institute of Fine Arts at the University of Birmingham, showcases the artist's exceptional talent and attention to detail. In this poignant depiction, we witness Tancred, clad in armor with sword in hand, standing over his beloved Erminia who lies lifeless before him. Poussin skillfully captures Tancred's grief-stricken expression as he mourns the loss of his cherished companion. The painting beautifully portrays classical elements intertwined with themes of love and tragedy. The flowing hair of Erminia adds a touch of ethereal beauty amidst the somber atmosphere. As viewers delve into this emotional narrative, they are transported to a world where honor clashes with heartache. Poussin's interpretation brings Tasso's words to life as he illustrates an iconic moment from "Jerusalem Delivered". Through this artwork, we glimpse into the dying moments of Erminia and feel her pain alongside Tancred. This remarkable print serves as a testament to Poussin's mastery and ability to evoke deep emotions through his brushstrokes. It invites us to reflect on our own experiences with love and loss while appreciating the timeless beauty found within classic literature transformed into visual art.
