FULLARTS

Edward Alfred Cucuel (American, 1875-1954), “Herbst” (Autumn), circa 1920

Armida was an enchantress in Tasso's epic poem about the Crusaders, Jerusalem Delivered, published in 1581. She used her charms to seduce the Crusaders from their vows and duty. Her palace, surrounded by magnificent pleasure grounds, was so luxurious and splendid that 'the Gardens of Armida' have become a synonym for gorgeous luxury.
