EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage illustration captures a pivotal moment in the medieval chivalric romance of Bradamante and the maiden. The image showcases Bradamante, a remarkable female Christian knight, who is depicted lying in bed alongside her love interest, Ruggiero, a Saracen warrior. However, their relationship faces an obstacle as Bradamante insists that Ruggiero converts from Islam before she agrees to marry him. The artwork beautifully portrays the complexity of their love story against the backdrop of religious differences and societal expectations. It highlights Bradamante's unwavering commitment to her beliefs while also showcasing her prowess in combat through her magical lance that can unhorse anyone it touches. In this particular scene from Orlando Furioso (The Frenzy of Orlando), illustrated by Gustave Dore, we witness Bradamante's bravery as she rescues Ruggiero from imprisonment by the wizard Atlantes. The artist skillfully captures the emotions and tension between the characters with intricate details and masterful shading. This print serves as a visual reminder of the power dynamics at play during medieval times and invites viewers to delve into this enchanting tale filled with adventure, love, and sacrifice. Duncan1890's rendition brings forth both historical context and artistic brilliance for all admirers of fine art to appreciate.
