Caption
Rinaldo and Armida, 1720-1750. As described in Jerusalem Delivered, an epic poem by Torquato Tasso (1544-1595) set during the first crusade, the Christian knight Rinaldo has been drawn into the enchanted garden of the sorceress Armida. The mischievous cupid at center holding the hero's helmet calls attention to Rinaldo's transformation from warrior to forlorn lover. Two of Rinaldo's comrades are spying on the couple. They will later persuade Rinaldo to return to battle.
