"Roger and Angelica on the Hippogriff" is a renowned sculpture by the French artist Antoine-Louis Barye (1796–1875), who is widely considered one of the foremost Romantic sculptors of the 19th century and a pioneer in the field of animalier, a genre of animal-themed sculpture. This particular work is inspired by the epic poem "Orlando Furioso" by Ludovico Ariosto, which was first published in 1516 and became a rich source of inspiration for artists during the Romantic period.

The sculpture depicts a scene from Canto X of the poem, where the knight Roger (Ruggiero in the original Italian) rescues the damsel Angelica while riding on a magical hippogriff, a mythical creature with the body of a horse and the wings and head of an eagle. The moment captured by Barye is one of high drama and romance, emblematic of the Romantic fascination with chivalry, exoticism, and the supernatural.

Barye's mastery in rendering the textures and musculature of animals is evident in the detailed depiction of the hippogriff, which combines the powerful grace of a horse with the fierce aspect of an eagle. The figures of Roger and Angelica are sculpted with equal finesse, their bodies and garments flowing with the movement of their mythical steed.

The sculpture is a fine example of Barye's work and reflects his ability to infuse vitality and emotion into bronze, a medium in which he excelled. "Roger and Angelica on the Hippogriff" is not only a testament to Barye's skill as a sculptor but also to the enduring appeal of the chivalric and fantastical themes of the Romantic era. It remains an important work in the oeuvre of Barye and a significant piece in the history of 19th-century French sculpture.
