EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Hermit and the Sleeping Angelica" a masterpiece created around 1627. Housed in the esteemed Art History Museum in Vienne, this painting is a true testament to the Baroque era's grandeur and artistic brilliance. The scene depicted is derived from Ludovico Ariosto's epic poem "Orlando Furioso" and portrays an allegorical moment of mythological significance. The central figures are Orlando, also known as Ruggiero, and Angelica, who lies peacefully asleep amidst a lush landscape. Pieter Paul Rubens skillfully captures the tension between desire and restraint as Orlando gazes longingly at Angelica while simultaneously restraining himself. Rubens' mastery shines through his use of oil on wood technique, which adds depth and richness to every brushstroke. The composition effortlessly combines elements of mythology, literature, and art history into one harmonious whole. "The Hermit and the Sleeping Angelica" invites viewers into a world where beauty intertwines with turmoil—a visual representation of human emotions that transcends time. This print allows us to appreciate Rubens' genius up close while preserving its historical significance for generations to come.
