EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing scene from the legendary tale of Perseus and Andromeda. Painted by Cornelisz. van Haarlem, this oil on panel masterpiece brings to life the mythical world of Greek gods and heroes. In this composition, we witness the dramatic encounter between Perseus and Andromeda, two central figures in ancient mythology. The artist skillfully portrays their vulnerability and strength as they stand before us in all their naked glory. The female form takes center stage here, showcasing the beauty and grace that has fascinated artists for centuries. Perseus, armed with his trusty shield, stands tall as he confronts Medusa's terrifying gaze turned upon him through her severed head held high by his side. Andromeda gazes at him with admiration mixed with fear, knowing that her fate lies in his hands. The painting transports us back to a time when myths were woven into everyday life; where gods intervened in mortal affairs and heroes embarked on perilous quests. It is a reminder of our human fascination with these timeless stories that continue to captivate our imagination even today. Displayed proudly in a private collection but now made accessible through this stunning photo print, this artwork invites us to delve into the rich tapestry of Greek mythology while appreciating the masterful technique employed by van Haarlem.
