EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Angelica and Medoro" transports us back to the enchanting world of Italian literature and myth. Inspired by Ludovico Ariosto's epic poem "Orlando Furioso" this scene depicts a pivotal moment in the love story of Angelica and Medoro. In this Renaissance masterpiece by Giorgio Ghisi, we witness the couple embracing passionately against a majestic tree trunk. The tender gesture symbolizes their deep connection amidst nature's embrace. Medoro, with his skilled hands, carves their names into the bark as an eternal testament to their love. As our eyes wander towards the background, Cupid stands holding a torch, casting a warm glow on this intimate encounter. His presence reminds us that love is both powerful and transformative. The artist skillfully captures the essence of romance through intricate engravings that bring life to characters from centuries past. This artwork serves as a visual representation of Ariosto's poetic words, allowing viewers to immerse themselves in an age-old tale filled with passion and longing. Displayed at The Met Museum, this print not only showcases Ghisi's artistic prowess but also preserves Italy's rich cultural heritage for generations to come. It invites us to reflect on timeless themes such as love, devotion, and human connection – reminding us that these emotions transcend time itself. With its delicate details and monochromatic palette, "Angelica and Medoro" continues to captivate audiences today just as it did when it was created in
