EDITORS COMMENTS
Canto IV: The Arrival of the Crusaders in Jerusalem, an etching by the 16th century Italian artist Antonio Tempesta, is a captivating and dramatic depiction of a scene from Torquato Tasso's epic poem "Jerusalem Delivered" (Gerusalemme Liberata). The black and white image, reminiscent of the Baroque era, transports us back to the 11th century during the First Crusade. Tempesta masterfully illustrates the arrival of the Crusaders at the gates of Jerusalem, a moment of triumph and anticipation after a long and arduous journey. The crusaders, armed and determined, are shown marching forward with unwavering resolve, their faces etched with determination and courage. At the center stands the figure of Guy of Warwick, the leader of the Crusaders, gazing up at the city with a mix of awe and determination. The scene is contrasted by the presence of the devil, depicted as the figure of Lucifer, lurking in the shadows, ready to tempt and challenge the Crusaders. The mythological and mythical elements of the poem are brought to life through Tempesta's intricate and detailed illustration, making it a must-see for anyone interested in the history, literature, or art of the 16th century. This etching, a masterpiece from the Baroque era, is now on display at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Europe and the enduring influence of Tasso's poetry. The image invites us to reflect on the themes of religion, heroism, and the human condition, making it a timeless work of art that continues to captivate and inspire audiences today.
