Angelica lying across the lap of Medoro and writes their names on a tree trunk 1784 - 1836

This 19th-century engraving by Italian artist Giovanni Folo depicts a scene from the epic poem *Orlando Furioso* by Ludovico Ariosto. The work, titled "Angelica lying across the lap of Medoro and writes their names on a tree trunk," shows the lovers Angelica and Medoro, who are carving their names into a tree trunk, while Cupid, with his arrow and hammer, looks on. The piece, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, demonstrates the artist's skill in depicting both human emotion and natural detail.
