The Sorcerer Atlante Abducting Pinabello's Lady (Ariosto, Orlando Furioso, canto II, 38)

Claus Virch was responsible for the identification of the relevant scene from Ariosto's Orlando furioso. On occasion the subject has been mistakenly called Roger Carried Away from Bradamante on the Hippogriff.
