This sketch returns to the climax of that tale. The knight Rinaldo, a participant in the First Crusade to recapture Jerusalem from the infidels, is taken by the Saracen sorceress Armida to her garden on an enchanted island. There, amidst the pleasures of love, he forgets his mission. Only when his friends Carlo and Ubaldo find him, show him his reflection in a polished shield, and remind him of his duties as a knight does he return to the Christian army. Here Rinaldo is shown in chains woven of flowers, indolent and unmanned. The pleasant and moralizing story of Rinaldo and Armida was a favorite theme for courtly paintings, tapestries, festivals, and operas.","remarks":"K Gallery Rotation"}],"datebegin":1730,"sortnumber":"1933   23y","published_date":"2026-02-11 09:24:04.362456","objectid":20004,"dimensions":"41.5 × 49 cm (16 5/16 × 19 5/16 in.)\r\nframe: 56.5 × 64.5 × 7 cm (22 1/4 × 25 3/8 × 2 3/4 in.)","on_view":false}
