The Doom Fulfilled (Perseus Slaying the Sea Serpent) c. 1882
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and dynamic artwork by Edward Coley Burne-Jones that depicts the heroic tale of Perseus rescuing Andromeda from the clutches of a terrifying sea serpent. This stunning print, created using gouache on paper, showcases Burne-Jones' mastery in capturing movement and emotion. In this intense scene, we witness Perseus locked in an epic battle with the monstrous sea serpent as he fights to free Andromeda from her chains. The clash between man and beast is palpable, with every stroke of Burne-Jones' brush conveying their fierce confrontation. The artist's adherence to Pre-Raphaelite principles is evident in his attention to detail and vibrant use of color. The intricate rendering of each scale on the serpent's body adds depth and texture to the composition, while Andromeda's delicate figure juxtaposed against the powerful forces at play creates a sense of vulnerability amidst chaos. "The Doom Fulfilled" serves as a testament to humanity's eternal struggle against adversity. It symbolizes bravery, heroism, and triumph over evil forces that threaten our existence. Through this mesmerizing painting, Burne-Jones invites us into a world where mythological creatures come alive and heroes rise above their limitations. Displayed proudly at Southampton City Art Gallery in Hampshire, UK, this remarkable piece continues to captivate viewers with its timeless narrative and artistic brilliance. As we gaze upon
