"Clorinda Interceding to Save Olindo and Sofronia from the Stake" is a 17th-century oil painting by Italian Baroque artist Cesare Dandini, depicting a dramatic scene from Torquato Tasso's epic poem "Gerusalemme Liberata" ("Jerusalem Delivered"). The painting illustrates the moment when the Christian knight Olindo and his beloved Sofronia, falsely accused of idolatry, are about to be burned at the stake by the Saracens in Jerusalem. In a heroic act of compassion, the warrior maiden Clorinda, a Muslim character who later converts to Christianity, intervenes to plead for their lives with the Saracen king.

Dandini, known for his elegant and refined style, captures the intensity of the scene through his masterful use of color, composition, and expression. The figures are rendered with a dramatic chiaroscuro that emphasizes their emotional states, highlighting Clorinda's determined advocacy, the innocence of Olindo and Sofronia, and the tension of the onlooking crowd. The painting is a testament to the Baroque era's fascination with theatrical narratives, as well as the cultural exchange between the Christian and Islamic worlds during the Renaissance and Baroque periods.

This work is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its representation of themes such as heroism, mercy, and the transformative power of love. "Clorinda Interceding to Save Olindo and Sofronia from the Stake" remains an important example of Dandini's oeuvre and contributes to the understanding of 17th-century Italian art and its engagement with literary sources. The painting is housed in a notable art collection, though the specific location may vary as it could be on loan or part of a traveling exhibition.
