Isabella Abandons Her Home to Follow Odorico and His Men
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating 18th-century drawing by the renowned French artist Jean-Honore Fragonard. This exquisite work, created using black chalk stumping with brown and gray wash on laid paper, is an illustration from Ludovico Ariosto's epic poem "Orlando Furioso." The drawing depicts the moment when Isabella, a character from the poem, makes a decisive choice to abandon her home and follow Odorico and his men. The scene is filled with emotion and drama as Isabella, dressed in a flowing robe, turns her back on her familiar surroundings and steps into the unknown. The figures in the drawing are rendered with incredible detail and sensitivity, capturing the essence of the human experience. The drawing is a prime example of the Rococo style, which was popular during the 18th century in Europe. The Rococo era was characterized by its ornate, decorative art, and Fragonard's use of chalk and wash perfectly captures the delicate, intricate details that define this artistic movement. This beautiful work of art is now a cherished part of the collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. It is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of France and the enduring influence of literature on the visual arts. The drawing invites us to explore the story of "Orlando Furioso" and to appreciate the beauty and complexity of the human condition. Whether you are a scholar of literature or an art lover, this drawing is sure to leave a lasting impression.
