Verified profile

Tiarini repeatedly illustrated the taxic tale of Rinaldo and Armida. In this painting, already in Cremona in the Vidoni collection, it depicts the moment when, after the victory of the Christian army, the sorceress tries to kill herself by piercing herself with an arrow, but is held back by the arrival of her beloved Rinaldo. Adherence to the poetic text is exemplary, even if the painter, with his bright and full-bodied language, transfers the melancholy sensuality of Tasso to a level of explicit erotic value. Compared to another version, which belonged to Cardinal Alessandro d'Este and now in the Lille museum, Tiarini loads the image in a more dramatic and baroque sense, in consonance with the passionate and engaging expressive rhetoric of the works created over the years thirty, when Tiarini is mainly active for Reggio Emilia.
