"Ruggiero Blinding the Orc" is a notable painting by the French artist Jean-Honoré Fragonard (1732–1806). Created in the Rococo style for which Fragonard is renowned, this work is part of a series of paintings that depict scenes from Ludovico Ariosto's epic poem "Orlando Furioso." The painting illustrates the dramatic moment when the knight Ruggiero rescues the damsel Angelica from the clutches of the monstrous Orc.

Fragonard's composition is characterized by its dynamic movement and the use of vivid colors, which enhance the theatricality of the scene. The artist's brushwork conveys the urgency and intensity of the encounter between Ruggiero and the Orc. In the foreground, Ruggiero is depicted in the act of blinding the beast, a pivotal event in the narrative that allows for Angelica's escape.

The painting is a testament to Fragonard's skill in capturing the essence of the Rococo aesthetic, with its emphasis on grace, playfulness, and the use of light. It also reflects the 18th-century fascination with chivalric romance and the exotic, as well as the influence of literature on the visual arts during this period.

"Ruggiero Blinding the Orc" is held in high esteem for its artistic merit and as an example of Fragonard's contribution to French painting. It remains an important work for scholars studying the Rococo movement and the intersection of art and literature in the 18th century.
