"Roger Freeing Angelica" is an oil painting by the French Neoclassical artist Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, completed in 1819. The painting is a visual representation of a scene from the epic poem "Orlando Furioso" by Ludovico Ariosto, which was first published in 1516. The narrative depicted in Ingres' work captures the moment when the knight Roger (Ruggiero in the original Italian), upon the back of a hippogriff, rescues the damsel Angelica, who has been chained to a rock on the Isle of Tears and left as a sacrifice to a sea monster.

Ingres, known for his precise draftsmanship and clear lines, portrays the figures in a calm and idealized manner, characteristic of Neoclassical aesthetics, despite the dramatic nature of the scene. The painting showcases his skill in rendering the human form and his ability to convey narrative through composition and gesture. The serene beauty of Angelica contrasts with the tension of the impending danger, while Roger's heroic pose signifies the triumph of virtue and chivalry.

The work is significant in Ingres' oeuvre as it illustrates his lifelong interest in historical and literary subjects, and his desire to convey moral and emotional intensity through his art. "Roger Freeing Angelica" is also notable for its influence on the Romantic movement, despite Ingres' own alignment with Neoclassical principles. The painting's emphasis on emotion and the exotic, as well as its departure from strict classical subject matter, foreshadow the Romantic preoccupation with drama, passion, and the sublime.

"Roger Freeing Angelica" has been exhibited in various galleries and is considered an important example of early 19th-century French painting. Its influence can be seen in the works of later artists who were inspired by Ingres' technique and thematic choices. The painting remains a testament to Ingres' mastery of form and his contribution to the narrative genre in art history.
