"Rinaldo en Armida" is an engraving by Bernard Picart, a French artist, dating back to 1724-1797. The artwork depicts a scene from the epic poem "Jerusalem Delivered" by Torquato Tasso, where the knight Rinaldo is charmed by the sorceress Armida. The image is filled with intricate details, showing both human and mythological figures, including cupids, a fountain, and a large seashell. This engraving, now held at the Rijksmuseum, showcases the skill of Picart in capturing the grandeur and drama of this famous literary tale.
