"Ruggero frees Angelica" Canvas
This is another exciting addition to our Paladins collection, a MedievalMade exclusive oil painting portraying the legend of Ruggero and Angelica - yes, the same Angelica that every other paladin chases, and that is at the heart of our collection. See Related Products below for other paintings of the collection, which you can mix and match because they share a consistent color palette. Orlando Furioso, a 16th-century epic poem by Ariosto, is the source of the tale of Ruggero (Roger), a knight whose steed is a hippogriff, a legendary creature half horse and half eagle. While riding near Brittany's coast, Roger sees a beautiful woman, Angelica, chained to a rock on the Isle of Tears. She has been abducted and stripped naked by barbarians who have left her there as a human sacrifice to a sea monster. As Roger rides to her aid, a great thrashing in the water occurs—it is the monster approaching Angelica. Roger drives his sword between the monster's eyes and rescues Angelica. These canvases
