About the piece

Painted in 1812 by the Italian master Francesco Hayez, this Neoclassical work captures the intimate moment between the knight Rinaldo and the sorceress Armida. The contrast between the radiant skin of the figures and the deep, atmospheric shadows of the woods exemplifies Hayez's masterful control of light and emotion.
