Rinaldo and Armida
by LAZZARINI, Gregorio, Fresco
The picture shows one of the scenes on the walls of the entrance portego.
The three white faux-rocaille frames that occupy the spaces between the columns contain scenes of poetic-mythological love stories. The final scene in the third compartment is inspired by Torquato Tasso’s Jerusalem Delivered. The sorceress Armida and the Christian prince Rinaldo are seen during a dalliance in a woodland setting.
