EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from Canto 39, Stanza 57 of the renowned epic poem "Orlando Furioso" by Ludovico Ariosto. Created in 1774 by Nicolas de Launay, this etching and engraving transports us to the enchanting world of knights, prisoners, and poetic literature. In this particular stanza, we witness an extraordinary moment where a knight's breath is taken away as he pulls back his bowstring with all his might. The sheer power behind his action creates a wondrous spectacle that defies expectations. This image beautifully encapsulates the essence of this remarkable occurrence. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of the engraving. From the intricate armor worn by both male and female characters to their expressive faces filled with determination or astonishment, each element adds depth and emotion to the composition. As we gaze upon this piece at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are transported back in time to 18th century France where Italian poetry held great influence over artistic expression. Charles Nicolas Cochin II's involvement in producing this print further enhances its historical significance. This print serves as a testament not only to Ariosto's enduring literary legacy but also to Launay's skillful craftsmanship as an artist. It invites us into a world where imagination intertwines with reality, leaving us captivated by its beauty and complexity for centuries to come.
