Couple in Love-Angelica and Medor, 2nd half of 18th century. Additional Info: Medor and Angelica are the heroes of the famous epic poem "Orlando Furioso" by the Italian poet Ariosto (1474-1533), which describes the battles between the Christians and the Saracen army during the time of Charlemagne. The beautiful Princess Angelica had many wooers, both pagan and Christian, among them was Orlando (Rolando), who went mad from love and jealousy, because Angelica chose Medoro. Angelica, with the help of shepherds, hid the wounded knight and treated him with herbs. The painting presents the very popular scene when Angelica cuts out the name of her beloved in a tree trunk (19 28).
