Description:

Though attributed to Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, this dramatic oil painting is actually "Ruggiero Rescuing Angelica" by Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres' teacher, Jacques-Louis David, completed in 1819. The canvas pulses with chiaroscuro, contrasting the luminous flesh of Angelica against the shadowy cavern and turbulent sea. David's mastery of form and light creates a palpable tension between the heroic Ruggiero and the imperiled Angelica. The painting's secret lies in its mythological depths, drawing from Ariosto's epic poem "Orlando Furioso." Its message speaks to themes of chivalry, salvation, and the triumph of good over evil. This Neoclassical work captures a pivotal moment of rescue, inviting viewers to contemplate the power of courage in the face of monstrous adversity.
