"Erminia Among the Shepherds" is an oil painting by Francesco de Mura (1696–1782), an Italian artist of the late Baroque period, also known as the Rococo era. De Mura was born in Naples and is considered one of the leading painters of the Neapolitan school, having studied under Francesco Solimena. His work is characterized by its soft color palette, graceful figures, and the use of light, which reflects the transition from the grandiosity of the Baroque to the more delicate Rococo style.

The painting "Erminia Among the Shepherds" depicts a scene from Torquato Tasso's epic poem "Jerusalem Delivered" (Gerusalemme Liberata), written in 1581. The narrative follows the character Erminia, a Saracen princess, who, clad in armor, flees to the countryside after falling in love with the Christian knight Tancred. Mistaken for an enemy, she is chased away but eventually finds refuge among simple shepherds, who are not swayed by her armor and welcome her with kindness. This pastoral scene is a common subject in Baroque art, illustrating the contrast between the innocence of the pastoral life and the turmoil of war and unrequited love.

De Mura's interpretation of this scene is noted for its elegance and the tender interaction between Erminia and the shepherds. The painting showcases his skill in depicting both the human form and the lush landscape that surrounds the figures. The work is imbued with a sense of tranquility and the idyllic charm typical of Rococo pastoral scenes.

"Erminia Among the Shepherds" is an example of de Mura's mature style and contributes to the understanding of the cultural and artistic transitions of the 18th century in Italy. The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its representation of literary themes that were popular among the European aristocracy of the time. It remains an important work for the study of Italian Rococo painting and the broader context of European art history.
