Tancred and Erminia, Surrounded by a Garland of Flowers
by MARIO DEI FIORI, Oil on canvas, 128 x 100 cm
The subject is taken from Torquato Tasso’s epic poem Gerusalemme Liberata (cantos 6 and 7) and depicts the Princess Erminia of Antic discovering the wounded Accred. While the garland of flowers is typical of Mario’s style, the figures have been traditionally attributed to Andrea Vaccaro.
