EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the legendary moment of "Perseus Turning Atlas to Stone" in all its mesmerizing glory. Painted by Gillis Congnet, a Flemish artist from the 16th century, this oil on panel artwork showcases Perseus, the hero of Greek mythology, as he confronts and petrifies Atlas. Adorned with his iconic winged helmet and holding Medusa's severed head aloft, Perseus exudes an air of power and determination. As a demi-god himself, he possesses the ability to turn any living being into stone with just one glance from Medusa's gaze. In this tondo painting measuring 21 cm in diameter, we witness Perseus unleashing his petrifying powers upon Atlas. The rocky landscape surrounding them adds depth and intensity to the scene while emphasizing their divine nature. The male figure stands nude in all his muscular splendor, symbolizing strength and vulnerability simultaneously. This portrayal highlights not only Perseus' physical prowess but also his heroic journey against formidable foes like Gorgons and Titans. Bridgeman Images has masterfully captured every intricate detail of this historic masterpiece through their expert photography skills. With permission from a private collection owner, they bring us closer to experiencing the awe-inspiring beauty of Congnet's work without commercial intentions.
