[…] Vede Tancredi in maggior copia il sangue del suo nemico, e sé non tanto offeso. Ne gode e superbisce. Oh nostra folle mente ch’ogn’aura di fortuna estolle!

Misero, di che godi? Oh quanto mesti fiano i trionfi ed infelice il vanto! Gli occhi tuoi pagheran (se in vita resti) di quel sangue ogni stilla un mar di pianto. […]

Torquato Tasso, Gerusalemme Liberata, XII, 58-59 (1581)

Rinaldo and Armida, Nicolas Poussin, 1628-30

[wolfie-wolfgang]

Going to Naples and Sorrento - on an Italian opera trail.

Watching Mount Vesuvius from Sorrento, across the Bay of Naples, I thought of Pliny the Younger (born 61 AD), as you do, who wrote a detailed description of the catastrophic eruption of the volcano (79 AD) that killed his uncle, the great Roman naturalist, Pliny the Elder, who sailed into the disaster because he was interested in the science of volcanoes.

Rinaldo and Armida

Artist: Angelica Kauffmann (Swiss, 1741–1807)

Date: 1771

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Yale Center for British Art, New Haven, CT, United States

Description

The story of Rinaldo and Armida is taken from Torquato Tasso's epic poem Gerusalemme Liberata (1580), an account of the First Crusade and the capture in 1099 of the holy city of Jerusalem. The poem was known in England within a few years of its publication but enjoyed renewed popularity in the mid-eighteenth century. Rinaldo is a handsome prince and Armida a beautiful sorceress sent by the devil to disrupt the Crusade. She bewitches Rinaldo but, despite her evil intent, falls in love and brings him to her enchanted palace on the Fortunate Isle. The lovers are finally discovered by some of Rinaldo's companions in arms, who recall him to his Christian duty.
