This illustration, "Orlando Furioso," was created by Gustave Doré, a renowned French artist known for his detailed and dramatic engravings. The scene depicts the titular character Orlando, driven mad by jealousy, confronting his love, Angelica. The intricate details, such as the ornate furnishings and the cherubs observing the scene, add a layer of complexity to this intense moment of betrayal and despair. This work highlights Doré's skill in capturing the emotional turmoil of a narrative through visual means, making it a captivating example of 19th-century graphic art.
