EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 16th century as we witness Ruggiero Rescuing Angelica. Created by the talented Cornelis Cort, this piece beautifully captures a scene from Ludovico Ariosto's epic poem "Orlando Furioso". The image showcases a courageous knight named Ruggiero, depicted in intricate detail by Cort's masterful engraving skills. With determination etched on his face, he valiantly battles against a mythical beast - a fearsome dragon that threatens to harm the delicate Angelica. Angelica, portrayed with grace and vulnerability, is seen perched atop a cloud. Her flowing gown billows around her as she gazes down at her savior below. The contrast between their characters adds depth to the composition and highlights the power of bravery in protecting those in need. Cort's attention to detail is evident throughout the print; every line and shadow meticulously crafted to bring life to this mythological tale. The use of black and white enhances the drama of the scene while allowing us to focus on each element individually. This remarkable artwork can be found at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, serving as a testament not only to Cort's talent but also its enduring significance within Northern Renaissance art. It serves as an invitation for viewers today to explore literature, mythology, and history through visual storytelling.
