Astolfo wordt terechtgewezen 1771 - 1772

"Astolfo wordt terechtgewezen" (Astolfo is Reprimanded), created by Louis Wilhelm Chodowiecki between 1771 and 1772, depicts a scene from the epic poem "Orlando Furioso" by Ludovico Ariosto. The print portrays Astolfo, a knight of Charlemagne's court, being reprimanded for his actions by a figure of authority. The scene is filled with detail, including the horses, the armor of the knights, and the landscapes, highlighting the artist's skill in engraving. This work is a fine example of Chodowiecki's mastery of the rococo style.
