EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic scene from the painting "Clorinda rescues Olindo and Sophronia" by Mattia Preti. Set in 17th century Italy, this Baroque masterpiece depicts a moment of intense emotion and self-sacrifice. In the foreground, we see Clorinda, a fierce warrior and sorceress, standing tall on her horse. Her flowing hair dances in the wind as she wields her sword with determination. Behind her lies Olindo and Sophronia, two lovers caught in a perilous situation during the Crusades. The artist skillfully portrays Clorinda's passion for both love and belief through his masterful brushstrokes. The vibrant colors bring to life every detail of this mythical tale inspired by Torquato Tasso's epic poem "Jerusalem Delivered". Preti's Roman school influence is evident in his attention to allegory and literature. Through this painting, he explores themes of chivalry, heroism, and sacrifice that were highly valued during his time. Displayed at Musei di Strada Nuova in Genoa, Italy, this oil on canvas artwork continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty. It serves as a testament to Preti's artistic prowess and ability to convey complex emotions through visual storytelling. As you gaze upon this image, let yourself be transported into an enchanting world where knights battle for honor while love prevails against all odds.
