Rinaldo and Armida — Nicolas Poussin

Nicolas Poussin’s Rinaldo and Armida, dated 1629, portrays an episode from Torquato Tasso’s epic poem Jerusalem Delivered, in which the sorceress Armida encounters the sleeping knight Rinaldo. Poussin transforms the dramatic meeting into a poised Baroque composition, balancing romantic tension with the measured clarity and classical restraint characteristic of his art. The figures’ expressive gestures and the work’s lyrical atmosphere evoke the enchantment, conflict, and emotion of Tasso’s celebrated narrative.

Our museum-inspired reproductions are printed on premium 200 gsm matte paper, with edge-to-edge artwork and supplied unframed.

To prepare selected historical artworks for fine-art printing, we digitally enhance images where necessary, including adjustments to brightness, contrast and colour balance. These refinements are intended to improve print reproduction while respecting the character of the original artwork. Colours and tonal values may therefore differ from the original painting.
