Description
"This book considers how painters from the late sixteenth century to the nineteenth century have interpreted the story of Angelica and Medoro in Ariosto's Orlando Furioso. Rensselaer Lee discusses two scenes. One shows Angelica, suddenly stricken with love, tending to Medoro's wounds on the battlefield; the other, on which this book concentrates, portrays the lovers carving their names on trees. The discussion is illustrated with paintings and engravings some of which have never been published before."--Page 4 of cover.
