About Rinaldo Enchanted by Armida
The Art Institute's sequence of four large paintings illustrating the ill-fated love of Armida and Rinaldo from Torquato Tasso's epic poem Gerusalemme liberata once decorated a "cabinet of mirrors" in the Venetian palace of the distinguished Cornaro family. Giovanni Battista Tiepolo also provided smaller decorative panels and a ceiling painting for what must have been a sparkling, light-filled room. In this, the first narrative scene, the beautiful sorceress Armida sees the young knight Rinaldo asleep and, falling in love with him, decides to carry him away on her cloud-borne chariot. Her actions will distract Rinaldo from his quest of liberating Jerusalem, the chief subject of Tasso's epic.
