Perseus Rescuing Andromeda, 1594/95. Creator: Giuseppe Cesari
Perseus Rescuing Andromeda, 1594/95. The Greek hero Perseus, traveling home after slaying Medusa, spotted the princess Andromeda chained to a rock. He rescued her from being sacrificed to a sea monster and won her hand in marriage. This painting depicts a version of the ancient myth popularized in sixteenth-century Italy, in which Perseus arrives astride Pegasus, the winged horse born from Medusa's blood. Small mythological scenes like this made Arpino one of Rome's most fashionable painters among sophisticated connoisseurs

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this exquisite Renaissance masterpiece by Italian painter Giuseppe Cesari (also known as Il Cavaliere d'Arpino), Perseus Rescuing Andromeda, circa 1594/95, the legendary Greek hero arrives on horseback to save the beautiful princess Andromeda from a gruesome fate. As Pegasus, the winged stallion born from Medusa's blood, carries him effortlessly along the coastal cliffs, Perseus dismounts and frees Andromeda from her chains. This stunning oil painting captures the drama and heroism of ancient Greek mythology as it was popularized in 16th-century Italy. With its vivid colors and masterful composition, this work is a testament to Cesari's skill as an artist and his ability to evoke powerful emotions through art.
