Angelica and Medoro 1763 François Boucher French This painting, shown with its pendant at the Salon of 1765, is based on Ludovico Ariostos epic poem Orlando Furioso (1532). In its handling and composition, it is a consummate example of Bouchers skill as a colorist in the jewel-like treatment of a historical theme. It depicts Angelica, the pagan daughter of an imaginary king of China, who abandoned the Christian knight Orlando for the knight Medoro, a North African Muslim. Nothing of the multicultural cast found in the original text is evident in Bouchers image, however, nor in the storys many representations during the nineteenth century.. Angelica and Medoro 435742
