Giovanni Battista Cipriani's captivating artwork,
EDITORS COMMENTS
Angelica and Medoro," portrays the tender affection between two legendary figures from Italian mythology. The black and white image, created with pen and black ink with brown and gray wash over graphite on laid paper, depicts Angelica, a beautiful and enchanting sorceress, embracing Medoro, a brave knight, with an expression of deep love and devotion. The connection between them is further emphasized by the gesturing hands and the gentle gaze of both characters. The background of the artwork is adorned with a verso design of four concentric circles surrounding a laurel wreath, adding an element of classical elegance and sophistication. The use of contrasting white and black tones creates a striking visual effect, highlighting the intricate details of the characters and their surroundings. Angelica and Medoro's story is one of passion and adventure, as told in the epic poem "Orlando Furioso" by Ludovico Ariosto. Angelica, known for her beauty and magical powers, was sought after by many suitors, but ultimately fell in love with Medoro, who proved himself to be a worthy and loyal companion. Their love was tested by numerous challenges and obstacles, but their bond remained unbroken. This beautiful and moving artwork by Giovanni Battista Cipriani is a testament to the power of love and the enduring connection between two souls. It is a must-see for anyone with an appreciation for the arts, particularly those with an interest in mythology and the human condition." The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is fortunate to have this masterpiece in its collection, allowing visitors to experience the emotion and depth of Cipriani's work firsthand. This artwork is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage that has been passed down through the generations and continues to inspire and captivate audiences today.
