Giambattista Tiepolo. Armida Abandoned by Rinaldo. 1742–1745. Italy. Oil on canvas The third scene from Giovanni Battista Tiepolo’s brilliant suite of decorations for a room in the Venetian palace of the Cornaro family, this painting shows the emotional climax of the story of Rinaldo and Armida. The knight Rinaldo has been persuaded by his companions, Carlo and Ubaldo, to renounce the love of the beautiful sorceress Armida. The gazes of the figures express the tension of the moment. Bareheaded and pensive, Rinaldo has taken up his arms again and appears to hesitate as the older knights gesture toward the boat that will carry them back to the crusader army. Armida tries vainly to detain him with her imploring gaze and provocatively bare, outstretched leg.
