EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage illustration from the story Orlando Furioso transports us to a world of ancient legends and timeless battles between good and evil. The print showcases an exquisite depiction of the Angel and the Serpent, two powerful symbols that have fascinated humanity for centuries. In this artwork by Gustave Dore, we witness the clash between these opposing forces in all their glory. The angel, radiant with divine light, stands tall and majestic, representing purity, righteousness, and heavenly grace. Its wings spread wide as if ready to soar into celestial realms. Contrasting against this ethereal figure is the menacing serpent coiled at its feet. With its sinuous form and piercing eyes, it embodies cunning deceitfulness and temptation—a reminder of mankind's vulnerability to succumb to darker impulses. The composition exudes a sense of tension as both figures engage in an eternal struggle for dominance. It serves as a visual metaphor for the age-old battle between good and evil that has captivated storytellers throughout history. Orlando Furioso itself is not only an Italian epic poem but also a chivalric romance deeply rooted in medieval traditions. This print beautifully captures one pivotal moment within this grand narrative—evoking emotions of awe, wonderment, and contemplation about our own moral choices. Duncan1890's meticulous reproduction allows us to appreciate every intricate detail of Dore's masterful artistry while immersing ourselves in a tale that continues to resonate across time.
