EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the dramatic scene of Persee rescuing Andromede, who is chained to a rock. The heroic figure of Persee can be seen climbing on Pegase, the magnificent winged horse, as he prepares to battle a fearsome marine monster. Painted by Joachim Wtewael in 1611, this masterpiece measures an impressive 8x1.5 meters and is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris. The painting depicts a moment from Greek mythology where Persee comes to the aid of Andromede, who has been condemned to death by being left exposed to the monster's wrath. With his bravery and determination, Persee fights valiantly against all odds to save her life. Wtewael's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from the intricate rendering of Pegase's wings to the expression on Andromede's face as she gazes upon her savior. The composition also includes elements such as shells and animals that add depth and symbolism to the artwork. This piece showcases not only Wtewael's artistic skill but also his ability to bring mythical tales alive through paint. It serves as a reminder of heroism and sacrifice while celebrating human triumph over adversity. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported into a world where imagination meets reality, leaving us captivated by its beauty and storytelling prowess.
