The epic poem of Torquato Tasso, « The Jerusalem delivered » (1582), influenced for more than three centuries the representations of love in the arts across Europe. « Madrigal » makes us discover three dazzling works by Annibale Carracci, Nicolas Poussin and Giambattista Tiepolo interpreting the episode of the love relationship between the knight Renaud and the magician Armida. The eye of the camera caresses the sensual surface of the painting, guided by the reflection of the art historian Giovanni Careri on the powers of the image and those of love.
