We are often asked about Angelica. She was a pagan princess in an epic poem by Italian writer Ludovico Ariosto published in 1516. Wrongly accused by the cowardice of others she was rescued by African knight Ruggiero (Roger) after being chained naked to a rock in the sea as a sacrifice to the monstrous sea creature Orc.  Ariosto’s poem has been the inspiration for many works of art, including paintings by Tiepolo, Ingres, Redon, and a series of illustrations by Gustave Doré. Ours is an antique French engraving inspired by the story c1880. The original is in La Bibliothèque nationale de France. Parallels to the tale of St George and the Dragon and the legend of Andromeda and Perseus are often drawn.
