Today's Flickr photo with the most hits was taken in Chicago, at the Art Institute. The canvas, painted by Tiepolo, shows Armida - abandoned by Rinaldo.

The Art Institute has four large canvases depicting episodes from the story.

The story - itself adapted from an epic poem, set at the time of the First Crusade - was further adapted to become the first Italian language opera Handel wrote for the London stage.
