Angelica and Medoro was a popular theme for Romantic painters, composers and writers from the 16th until the 19th century. Angelica and Medoro are two characters from the 16th-century Italian epic ''Orlando Furioso'' by Ludovico Ariosto. Angelica was an Asian princess at the court of Charlemagne who fell in love with the Saracen knight Medoro, and eloped with him to China. While in the original work, Orlando was the main character, many adaptations focused purely or mainly on the love between Angelica and Medoro, with the favourite scenes in paintings being Angelica nursing Medoro, and Angelica carving their names into a tree, a scene which was the theme of at least 25 paintings between 1577 and 1825. ==List of artists depicting Angelica and Medoro== * Nicolas-Sébastien Adam, ''Angélique et Médor'', 1753 *François Boucher, ''Angelica and Medoro'', 1763 *Ludovico Carracci, ''Angelica'' and ''Medoro'', two heads *Eugène Delacroix, ''Angelica and the wounded Medoro'', c. 1860 *Angelica Kauffman, ''The Loves of Angelica and Medoro'' *Teodoro Matteini, after a design by Raphael Sanzio Morghen *Marcantonio Raimondi, ''Angelica e Medoro'', after Giulio Romano *Joshua Reynolds, ''Angelica and Medoro'' *Bonifazio Veronese, ''Angelica e Medoro'' *Benjamin West, ''Angelica and Medoro'', 1763–1764 *John Wootton, ''Landscape with Angela and Medoro'', in the Royal Albert Memorial Museum in Exeter *Mihael Stroj, ''Angelika und Medor'', (1833), a scene from the epic Orlando Furioso 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Angelica and Medoro」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
