"Carlo and Ubaldo by the Water Nymphs" is a 1782 painting by Johann Heinrich Tischbein the Elder, a notable German painter from the Tischbein family of artists. This work is an oil on canvas that depicts a scene from Torquato Tasso's epic poem "Gerusalemme Liberata" ("Jerusalem Delivered"), specifically the episode in which the Christian knights Carlo and Ubaldo are sent on a mission to rescue the enchanted Rinaldo. In Tasso's narrative, the knights encounter Armida's bewitched garden, where they are met by water nymphs who attempt to seduce and distract them from their quest.

Tischbein's interpretation of this scene captures the moment of temptation, as the ethereal nymphs, embodiments of sensuality and allure, interact with the steadfast knights. The painting reflects the neoclassical style that Tischbein was known for, characterized by its clarity, order, and use of classical themes and motifs. The composition, with its balanced arrangement of figures and emphasis on idealized beauty, is indicative of the neoclassical aesthetic that was prevalent in the late 18th century.

Johann Heinrich Tischbein the Elder (1722–1789), also known as "Tischbein of Kassel," was a prominent member of the Tischbein family of painters. He served as a court painter and later as the director of the art academy in Kassel. His works include portraits, historical scenes, and mythological subjects, and he is particularly remembered for his skillful depiction of fabric and drapery.

"Carlo and Ubaldo by the Water Nymphs" is part of Tischbein's broader oeuvre that reflects the cultural and artistic influences of his time, including the Enlightenment's interest in classical antiquity and the valorization of reason and virtue. The painting not only illustrates a moment from a celebrated literary work but also serves as an example of the moral narratives favored by neoclassical artists, where virtue is tested but ultimately prevails. The artwork remains an important piece within Tischbein's body of work and contributes to the understanding of neoclassical art in the context of 18th-century European painting.
