"Rinaldo and Armida" is a 1766 oil painting by French artist Louis Lagrenée, also known as Louis Jean François Lagrenée, who was a prominent painter of the Rococo era. The painting depicts a scene from Torquato Tasso's epic poem "Gerusalemme Liberata" ("Jerusalem Delivered"), which narrates the story of the First Crusade, combining historical events with mythical and fantastical elements. In the poem, the enchantress Armida has bewitched the Christian knight Rinaldo, one of the crusade's heroes, and has taken him to her magical island to keep him from the battle for Jerusalem.

Lagrenée's work captures the moment of seduction and enchantment, showcasing his mastery of color and composition, which are characteristic of the Rococo style. The painting is imbued with a sense of romanticism and drama, as the figures of Rinaldo and Armida are entwined in a lush and dreamlike landscape. Armida is often portrayed as a symbol of temptation, luring the knight away from his duty, while Rinaldo represents the struggle between passion and obligation.

The artwork reflects the 18th-century fascination with chivalric romance and the exotic, as well as the period's appreciation for theatricality and emotion in art. "Rinaldo and Armida" is notable for its fine brushwork, the softness of its forms, and the delicate interplay of light and shadow, which contribute to the overall sensuous and ethereal quality of the scene.

Louis Lagrenée was an influential figure in his time, serving as a director of the French Academy in Rome and later as a professor at the Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture in Paris. His depiction of "Rinaldo and Armida" remains a significant example of his artistic legacy and of the Rococo movement's enduring impact on the visual arts. The painting is part of a rich tradition of artistic interpretations of Tasso's poem, which has inspired numerous artists across different mediums and centuries.
