Roger Freeing Angelica is an oil painting executed in 1873 by Swiss symbolist painter Arnold Böcklin.

The painting illustrates a scene from Ariosto's epic Orlando Furioso, in which the Muslim knight Roger (Italian: Ruggiero) saves the pagan princess Angelica from a sea monster.

The motif is closely related to the mythological theme of Perseus saving Andromeda.

Since the movement was initiated by and closely related to literature, poetry and music, symbolist painters often chose their motives from these areas.

[4] In the tenth canto of the poem, Roger is riding in Brittany on a hippogriff when he discovers Angelica, naked and chained to a rock, who has been bound there as a sacrifice to a water-dwelling orc, and saves her.
