About the piece

Painted in 1734 by Anton Kern, this vibrant Rococo work captures a pivotal moment from Torquato Tasso’s epic poem 'Jerusalem Delivered'. The composition is alive with swirling drapery in shades of rose and azure, set against a feathery, atmospheric forest that exemplifies the light-hearted elegance and painterly virtuosity of the 18th-century Venetian style.
