Silvio with the Wounded Dorinda Possibly 165

"Silvio with the Wounded Dorinda" is a Baroque painting attributed to Louis Vallée, a French artist active in the 17th century. The painting depicts a dramatic scene from a story about the tragic love of Silvio and Dorinda. The scene unfolds in a lush landscape setting, Dorinda is lying wounded, while Silvio, a bearded man in a brown robe, holds her in his arms. A third figure, likely Dorinda's sister, is present and holding an arrow, possibly the one that wounded Dorinda. The painting is known for its emotional intensity, detailed brushwork, and the artist's ability to depict a poignant moment of human suffering. The painting's large dimensions (105.1 × 175.2 cm) allow for a detailed and intimate portrayal of the scene.
