About the piece
Painted by the Italian Baroque master Guercino in 1648, this work illustrates a scene from Torquato Tasso's epic poem 'Gerusalemme liberata'. The composition features Erminia, clad in armor, discovering a peaceful family of shepherds, creating a poignant contrast between the world of war and the pastoral ideal through masterful lighting and rich, saturated tones.
