English: Several of Delacroix’s paintings are on subjects from the Italian Renaissance poet Torquato Tasso’s epic poem Jerusalem Delivered from 1581 – a story about the battle between the mediaeval crusaders and the Muslim Saracens. In Tasso’s story, Erminia is a Syrian princess who has fallen in love with the Christian crusader Tancred. The painting shows a scene in which she is disguised as a knight to search for her lover who has been wounded in battle. Erminia encounters some shepherds who are frightened by her belligerent appearance. Intresset för den muslimska världen framträder på olika sätt hos Delacroix. I en rad målningar hämtade han motiv från den italienska renässansdiktaren Torquato Tassos berömda verk Det befriade Jerusalem från 1581 – en berättelse om de medeltida korsriddarnas kamp mot de muslimska Saracenerna. I Tassos berättelse är Erminia en syrisk prinsessa som förälskat sig i den kristne riddaren Tancred. Målningen visar en scen där hon förklädd till riddare söker efter sin älskade som sårats i striden. Erminia träffar här några herdar som skräms av hennes krigiska gestalt.
