The Story Behind Rinaldo and Armida


This painting is inspired by the epic poem 'Gerusalemme Liberata' (Jerusalem Delivered) written by Italian poet Torquato Tasso in 1581. The story revolves around the enchantress Armida, who falls deeply in love with Rinaldo, a Christian knight fighting against the Saracens during the First Crusade.
