Orlando Furioso has been the inspiration for many works of art, including paintings by Eugène Delacroix, Tiepolo, Ingres, Redon, and a series of illustrations by Gustave Doré.

In his poem Ludovico Ariosto relates how Marphise, the woman warrior, knocks the knight Pinabello off his horse after his lady had mocked Marphise's companion, the old woman Gabrina.
In Marphise by Eugène Delacroix, Pinabello lies on the ground, and his horse gallops off in the distance.
The knight's lady, meanwhile, is forced to disrobe and give her fancy clothing to Gabrina.
Marphise's horse, undisturbed by the drama, nonchalantly munches on the leaves overhead.
