"Erminia and the Shepherds" is a painting by Salvatore Mollo, an artist about whom little is known, including his life dates or the extent of his oeuvre. The painting depicts a scene from Torquato Tasso's epic poem "Jerusalem Delivered" (Gerusalemme Liberata), which was first published in 1581. The narrative follows the adventures of the Christian knight Rinaldo and his companions during the First Crusade, as they battle to capture Jerusalem.

In the poem, the character Erminia is a Saracen princess who falls in love with the Christian knight Tancred. In a notable episode, she flees her people and seeks refuge among the shepherds after donning the armor of the warrior Clorinda, a friend of Tancred. Mollo's painting captures the moment when Erminia, still clad in armor, encounters the shepherds. The work is emblematic of the pastoral and chivalric themes popular in the Renaissance and Baroque periods, which often romanticized the simplicity of rural life and the valor of knights.

The painting is executed in the Baroque style, characterized by its dramatic use of light and shadow, as well as a sense of movement and emotion. Mollo's work would have been part of a larger tradition of visual arts that sought to illustrate the stories and characters of Tasso's influential poem, which had a significant impact on the cultural landscape of 16th and 17th-century Europe.

"Erminia and the Shepherds" by Salvatore Mollo is a work that, while not widely known, contributes to the visual interpretation of "Jerusalem Delivered" and reflects the enduring influence of Tasso's epic on the arts. The painting's current location, provenance, and date of creation are not specified in this introduction due to the lack of available information.
