About the piece
Painted on copper by Francesco Maffei around 1650, this dynamic work captures a pivotal moment from Torquato Tasso’s epic poem, 'Jerusalem Delivered.' The knight Rinaldo is shown in shimmering armor, his sword raised against the illusory spirits of the enchanted forest, rendered with the fluid brushwork and theatrical lighting characteristic of the Venetian Baroque.
