Guercino painted the scene from Tasso's epic where Erminia discovers wounded Tancred. The dramatic moment shows the Saracen princess coming to the aid of the Christian knight she loves. Baroque emotion fills the composition.
Guercino's rich colors and theatrical lighting bring the literary scene to life. This work hangs at the Galleria Doria Pamphilj in Rome.
