"Roger and Angelica" (1871-74) is an oil painting by the Swiss symbolist artist Arnold Böcklin, renowned for his evocative and mythological works. The painting is inspired by the epic poem "Orlando Furioso" by Ludovico Ariosto, which narrates the story of the knight Roger (Ruggiero) who rescues the damsel Angelica from the clutches of a sea monster. Böcklin's interpretation of the scene is a testament to his fascination with the fantastical and his ability to infuse his work with a sense of drama and emotion.

In the painting, Böcklin depicts the moment of rescue with a dynamic composition that captures the urgency and movement of the narrative. The knight, astride a winged horse, swoops down to save Angelica, who is bound to a rock at the edge of the sea. The monster, a grotesque creature from the depths, is rendered with meticulous detail, enhancing the painting's dramatic tension. Böcklin's use of color and light emphasizes the contrast between the human figures and the dark, foreboding presence of the monster.

"Roger and Angelica" is considered one of Böcklin's masterpieces and is often cited as an example of his skill in blending the real with the surreal. The painting is emblematic of the Symbolist movement, which sought to express the ineffable and the mystical through art. Böcklin's work, with its rich symbolism and allegorical content, invites viewers to delve into the deeper meanings behind the canvas, exploring themes of heroism, danger, and the supernatural.

The painting is held in high regard for its technical excellence and its impact on the Symbolist movement. It has been exhibited in various galleries and has been studied extensively by art historians and critics, who have praised Böcklin's ability to transcend the boundaries of traditional narrative painting and create a work that resonates with the viewer on multiple levels. "Roger and Angelica" remains an important piece in the oeuvre of Arnold Böcklin and continues to captivate audiences with its timeless appeal.
