"Ruggiero Freeing Angelica" is a baroque painting by the Italian artist Paolo di Matteis, created in the late 17th or early 18th century. The artwork is inspired by the epic poem "Orlando Furioso" by Ludovico Ariosto, which was first published in 1516 and became a popular source of themes for artists during the Renaissance and Baroque periods. The painting depicts the dramatic moment when the knight Ruggiero rescues the damsel Angelica, who has been chained to a rock and left as a sacrifice to a sea monster.

Paolo di Matteis (1662–1728) was a prominent painter from the Campania region of Italy, known for his dynamic compositions and vibrant use of color, which are characteristic of the late Baroque style. His works often featured mythological and historical subjects, and he was highly regarded in his time for his ability to convey emotion and movement in his paintings.

In "Ruggiero Freeing Angelica," di Matteis captures the tension and heroism of the scene through dramatic lighting and the expressive poses of the figures. Ruggiero is shown in the act of slaying the monster, while Angelica appears overwhelmed with relief and gratitude. The painting is a testament to the artist's skill in portraying complex narratives and his mastery of the Baroque aesthetic, which emphasized grandeur, sensuality, and theatricality.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural impact, as it reflects the enduring influence of "Orlando Furioso" on the visual arts. "Ruggiero Freeing Angelica" remains an important work in the oeuvre of Paolo di Matteis and continues to be studied for its representation of Baroque ideals and its place within the broader context of European art history.
