Rinaldo and Armida in the Magic Garden, spied upon by Warriors Carlo and Ubaldo French, second half of the 17th century Wool and silk, woven in Gobelin's method 350 x 450 cm The composition shows a detail from Tasso's epopee "La Gerusalemme Liberata" XVI. 17-25, represented frequently in the fine arts of Baroque. The cartoons of the most widespread version were made after paintings by Simon Vouet, the first complete series was woven on their basis in the first half of the 17th century, in the workshop of Raphael van den Planken in Paris (Faubourg Saint Germain). The piece of our collection - inherited the last year - can be considered as a roughly outlined version with less intense colors (blue, green, ochre) of the original Gobelin.
