"Tancred and Erminia" is a baroque painting by the Italian artist Paolo de Matteis, created in the late 17th or early 18th century. The artwork is a visual representation of 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 romantic elements.

The painting depicts the moment when Erminia, the daughter of the King of Antioch, finds the wounded Tancred, a Christian knight. Erminia, who is in love with Tancred, has fled her father's palace dressed in the armor of her beloved, Clorinda, a warrior maiden. Upon discovering Tancred in a vulnerable state, she sheds her disguise and tends to his wounds, revealing her true identity. This poignant scene captures themes of love, chivalry, and compassion, which are central to the chivalric romance genre.

Paolo de Matteis was known for his mastery of color and composition, which is evident in "Tancred and Erminia." The painting is characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, rich color palette, and the dynamic movement of the figures, which are hallmarks of the Baroque style. The emotional intensity of the scene is heightened by the artist's attention to detail, from the expressions of the characters to the intricate rendering of the landscape and armor.

"Tancred and Erminia" is an important work within de Matteis's oeuvre, showcasing his ability to convey narrative and emotion through his art. It also reflects the broader cultural and artistic interests of the Baroque period, where literature and painting often intersected to explore complex human experiences. The painting is a testament to the enduring appeal of Tasso's epic and the rich tradition of visual arts in interpreting literary classics.
