Our painting is a partial repeat of Jean-Auguste Dominique Ingres' Roger Delivering Angelique, in the Musée du Louvre (INV 5419).
This scene is based on a song from Roland furieux by Ludovico Ariosto, known as Ariosto. Angelica is condemned to be sacrificed to the sea monster after being accused of provoking the wrath of the gods and the inhabitants of the kingdom. So she is chained to a rock by the sea, until the knight Roger comes to rescue her.
