This print captures the intense moment of Perseus and Medusa's encounter, taken from the Game of Mythology (Jeu de la Mythologie) series by Stefano della Bella in 1644. The 17th-century etching showcases the artist's mastery in depicting this iconic Greek mythological scene. In this image, we witness Perseus, a heroic figure from ancient mythology, wielding his blade with determination as he prepares to behead Medusa. The tension is palpable as Medusa, a fearsome Gorgon with snakes for hair, gazes back at him with her piercing eyes. This depiction perfectly encapsulates the concept of heroism and the eternal struggle between good and evil.
