"Orlando Furioso" by Pietro Antonio Novelli refers to a series of illustrations created by the 18th-century Venetian artist Pietro Antonio Novelli (1729–1804), which depict scenes from the epic poem "Orlando Furioso" written by Ludovico Ariosto in 1516. Novelli, known for his work as a painter, engraver, and illustrator, brought to life the chivalric romance and fantastical elements of Ariosto's poem through his artistic interpretations.

The poem itself is a continuation of Matteo Maria Boiardo's unfinished work "Orlando Innamorato" and follows the adventures of its hero, Orlando, and other knights, as they navigate a complex web of love, war, and enchantment. Set against the backdrop of the war between Charlemagne's Christian paladins and the Saracen army, the poem weaves together a rich tapestry of tales, with Orlando's descent into madness being a central plotline.

Novelli's illustrations capture the drama and emotion of Ariosto's narrative, showcasing his skill in composition and his ability to convey the dynamic action and romantic themes of the poem. His work on "Orlando Furioso" is considered an important contribution to the visual arts of the period, offering a glimpse into the ways in which literary works were interpreted and visualized in the 18th century.

As an artist, Novelli was influenced by the Rococo style and the works of his contemporaries, yet his illustrations for "Orlando Furioso" also demonstrate his unique artistic vision. His depictions of the various characters and events from the poem highlight the enduring appeal of Ariosto's work and the imaginative possibilities it offered to artists and readers alike.

The illustrations by Pietro Antonio Novelli not only served as a visual accompaniment to the text but also played a significant role in the dissemination and reception of "Orlando Furioso" during the time. They reflect the cultural and artistic milieu of the era and continue to be studied by art historians and literary scholars for their contribution to the understanding of visual storytelling and interpretation of literary classics.
