This print showcases the title page of "The Historie of Orlando Furioso" by Ludovico Ariosto, an enchanting engraving from 1594. Created by an English School artist in the 16th century, this piece is now part of a private collection and is no longer under copyright restrictions. "The Historie of Orlando Furioso" is a renowned epic poem that delves into themes of chivalry, Christianity, and knightly valor. The intricate colophon and ornamental details on the title page reflect the artistic craftsmanship prevalent during the Tudor era. This particular edition was translated into English by John Harington and printed by John Danter. It holds significant historical importance as it was produced during Queen Elizabeth I's reign, adding to its cultural significance within courtly circles. The image not only captures the essence of Italian literature but also represents a remarkable translation effort that brought this masterpiece to an English-speaking audience.
