| Description |
English: Several of Delacroix’s paintings are on subjects from the Italian Renaissance poet Torquato Tasso’s epic poem Jerusalem Delivered from 1581 – a story about the battle between the mediaeval crusaders and the Muslim Saracens. In Tasso’s story, Erminia is a Syrian princess who has fallen in love with the Christian crusader Tancred. The painting shows a scene in which she is disguised as a knight to search for her lover who has been wounded in battle. Erminia encounters some shepherds who are frightened by her belligerent appearance. Svenska: Intresset för den muslimska världen framträder på olika sätt hos Delacroix. I en rad målningar hämtade han motiv från den italienska renässansdiktaren Torquato Tassos berömda verk Det befriade Jerusalem från 1581 – en berättelse om de medeltida korsriddarnas kamp mot de muslimska Saracenerna. I Tassos berättelse är Erminia en syrisk prinsessa som förälskat sig i den kristne riddaren Tancred. Målningen visar en scen där hon förklädd till riddare söker efter sin älskade som sårats i striden. Erminia träffar här några herdar som skräms av hennes krigiska gestalt. |
