Don't worry, you will not be subjected to my art in this blogpost.
But, I would be depriving you if I mentioned Rinaldo and Armida without mentioning the beautiful Poussin and Van Dyck paintings on the topic. The painting "Rinaldo and Armida", by Nicholas Poussin, is displayed above. It currently resides in the Pushkin Museum in Moscow. Here is a nice blog post on the painting: http://mydailyartdisplay.wordpress.com/2011/03/08/rinaldo-and-armida-by-nicolas-poussin/
There is also the painting by Van Dyck painting, shown below, which currently resides in the Baltimore Museum of Art (On the second floor. If you are in the main room off of the staircase with the Virgin Maries, go to the room on your left.)
Click here for the Baltimore Museom of Art's interactive presentation on the painting.
