Description

It can't be Armida facing Rinaldo asleep (B. Debrabandère). Armida has lulled Rinaldo to sleep by a river, by the charms of a mermaid: what does this bed have to do with it? It's more like Tancred asleep, dreaming of Clorinda. Vanloo does not illustrate the text of Jerusalem Delivered, but the scenes to which this text has given rise, particularly in opera. Campra's Tancrède (1st in 1702 at Fontainebleau), for example, contains a dream of Tancred. The nimbus surrounding the female character argues for an apparition, not an encounter.

History :

2. Commissioned three door tops and eight small paintings on the theme of Jerusalem Delivered for the King's Cabinet in the Royal Palace in Turin. The decoration of the cabinet, known as the Pregadio cabinet, is by P. Massa. Vanloo received 1500 lire on Nov. 24, 1733. Bottom right of door surmounted by Herminie being brought Clorinde's clothes.
