EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage illustration takes us on a journey into the realm of fantasy and chivalry. Inspired by Ludovico Ariosto's epic poem, "Orlando Furioso" this print depicts a courageous knight mounted on the back of a majestic creature known as the hippogriff. The artist, Gustave Dore, masterfully brings to life this mythical being with its front half resembling an eagle and hind half that of a horse. The intricate details in every feather and muscle showcase Dore's talent for creating awe-inspiring illustrations. As we gaze upon this scene, we can almost feel the wind rushing through our hair as the knight soars high above vast landscapes. The bond between man and beast is evident in their synchronized movements, symbolizing bravery and unity. "Orlando Furioso" itself is steeped in tradition dating back to the late Middle Ages when tales of chivalry were highly revered. This timeless story continues to captivate readers with its themes of honor, love, and adventure. Duncan1890's print allows us to bring home a piece of this enchanting world where imagination knows no bounds. Whether displayed in a study or living room, it serves as a reminder that within each one of us lies the spirit of an intrepid knight ready to embark on extraordinary quests alongside fantastical creatures like the hippogriff.
