EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1851 depicts the epic battle between the giant Eriphile and Roger (also known as Ruggero or Ruggiero) in Ludovico Ariosto's renowned work, "Furious Roland" (Orlando furioso). The artist, unknown but undoubtedly talented, skillfully captures the intensity of this momentous clash. The scene is filled with action and drama as Roger valiantly confronts the towering figure of Eriphile. With his sword raised high and determination etched on his face, Roger appears undeterred by the immense challenge before him. Meanwhile, Eriphile looms over him menacingly, a formidable opponent that seems almost unbeatable. The black and white tones add to the overall impact of this engraving, enhancing its dramatic effect. Every line and detail is meticulously crafted to bring life to these legendary characters from Italian literature. Published in Gustave Harvard's edition translated by Count of Tressan in 1851, this print showcases not only Ariosto's timeless tale but also pays homage to the rich tradition of storytelling through art. It serves as a testament to how literature can inspire visual interpretations that captivate audiences across generations. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork today, we are reminded of the power of imagination and creativity that transcends time. It invites us into a world where heroes rise against insurmountable odds and reminds us that even giants can be defeated with courage and determination.
