"Orlando the Paladin" Canvas

This oil-painted portrait is part of our celebrated series The Paladins. This is an exclusive MedievalMade collection, with artworks that we produced in-house or acquired directly from antique dealers.
The paladins are the twelve legendary knights closest companions of Charlemagne, comparable to the role of the Knights of the Round Table.
Orlando, also known as Roland, is Charlemagne's nephew and the chief hero among the knights.

The paladins were a really popular subject of medieval romance, so popular that their stories became plays for puppet theaters and operas.
The later Italian Renaissance works, Orlando in Love  and The Frenzy of Orlando, once as widely read and respected as William Shakespeare's, sent the paladins on even more fantastic adventures and this further fueled new literary and poetical reworkings. Their tales also influenced baroque music.
The famous Song of Roland  has inspired numerous modern works, including Stephen King's Dark Tower series.
Overtime, the paladins have become synonyms of chivalry, defense of justice, and epic deeds.

These canvases feature gallery quality prints, vibrant and built to last. They are folded around a lightweight but thick frame, museum grade.
