"Angelica e Medoro" is a notable painting by Paolo de Matteis, an accomplished Italian Baroque painter. This artwork, created in the early 18th century, depicts a scene from Ludovico Ariosto's epic poem "Orlando Furioso," which narrates the romantic encounter between the characters Angelica, a beautiful princess of Cathay, and Medoro, a Moorish knight. The painting captures the moment of tender affection and inscription of their names on a tree, symbolizing their love.

Paolo de Matteis, born in 1662 in Piano del Cilento, near Salerno, was renowned for his grand historical and mythological compositions. He trained under Luca Giordano and later developed his own style, which was characterized by a blend of Neapolitan vivacity and Roman classicism. His works were sought after by the aristocracy and the church, and he enjoyed a successful career in Italy and abroad, particularly in France, where he worked under the patronage of the Prince of Monaco.

"Angelica e Medoro" exemplifies de Matteis's skillful use of color and his ability to convey complex emotions through his figures. The painting's composition, with its elegant figures and idyllic landscape, reflects the influence of the High Baroque style, while also showcasing the artist's individual creativity and sensitivity.

This painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural impact, as it visually interprets a pivotal literary moment from the Renaissance, thereby bridging the worlds of visual arts and literature. The work of Paolo de Matteis, including "Angelica e Medoro," continues to be studied and admired for its contribution to the Baroque period and its enduring aesthetic appeal.
