The Damsel and Orlando

Artist: Benjamin West (American, 1738–1820)

Date: c. 1793

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, NY, United States

Description

The Italian poet Ludovico Ariosto’s epic "Orlando furioso" (1516) enjoyed revived popularity in the eighteenth century. In this melodramatic scene, the costumes, the physical types, and, especially, the poses are reminiscent of the style of the Italian High Renaissance, which West greatly admired. The hero, Orlando, is shown as he learns that he has lost his place in the affections of Angelica, who now loves someone else and has dispensed with a jeweled bracelet Orlando had given her. The painter concentrated all the work’s tension in the theatrical pose of Orlando, who, in the wildness of his grief, loses his mind.

Shop the Look: 16th Century Hairnet and Hat

For this look, I've made a hairnet of gold cord and ribbon over bronze organza ($40 CAD) decorated with amber glass beads and faux pearls, and a handstitched black velvet hat ($30) to perch jauntily on top.

(You'll have to find an eyepatch and blue feather yourself, though)

man you know the obsession is getting bad when you start creating tevinter/antiva/nevarra/etc. fashion inspo boards so you have good references to design insane outfits for fanart purposes

THE BROTHERS SFORZA

augh. there sure is a lot going on between them. tfw you know your older brother is wary of you so you have to navigate that fine line of proving you're useful, but not dangerously so. tfw your younger brother has the potential to be a knife in your back, but he's your brother. don't think too hard about what happened with the galeazzo. unfortunately, you're both visconti as well as sforza, and the visconti were prone to conspiracy. fucking RIP.

this definitely won't be upsetting years down the line when ascanio is near death and ludovico will be desperate to figure out how to bring his brother's body back to milan so ascanio can be interred in the same place as ludovico's recently deceased wife, beatrice d'este, and where ludovico himself has been haunting in a perpetual state of grief.

& the background of the first panel are public domain scans of two cards out of the visconti-sforza tarot deck.
