Ubaldo en Danois op zoek naar Renaldo 1709 - 1767

This etching, *Ubaldo en Danois op zoek naar Renaldo*, was created by Nicolas Charles de Silvestre between 1709 and 1767. Depicting a scene from the epic poem *Jerusalem Delivered* by Torquato Tasso, the artwork shows the knights Ubaldo and Danois embarking on a quest to rescue the enchanted knight Rinaldo from the palace of Armida. The scene takes place in a lush landscape with a castle perched atop a mountain in the distance, a visual reference to the epic’s setting. The etching's detailed composition and fine lines reflect Silvestre's mastery of the Rococo style, a popular movement during his lifetime.
