Today’s photo with the most hits: this Tiepolo canvas in the Art Institute, Chicago. It is one of a series of four large canvases dealing with the story of Armida and Rinaldo. Here, Armida is abandoned by Rinaldo (the dirty dog!). On the other hand, she did kidnap him and pretend to be his inamorata, Almirena. Handel adapted the story and created a fabulous opera from it. -- source link
