The circular shield, with a diameter of 6 cm, is housed in the prestigious Kunsthaus museum in Zurich, Switzerland. The intricate details and masterful brushstrokes on this piece are truly awe-inspiring. Medusa's face, depicted with an air of horror and mystery, commands attention as her piercing gaze meets yours. Serpents slither around her head like living extensions of her power, their sinuous forms adding to the overall sense of enchantment. Bocklin's skillful use of color brings this ancient mythological creature to life; vibrant hues blend seamlessly to create depth and movement within the composition. The juxtaposition between beauty and terror is palpable as Medusa's delicate features are contrasted against the menacing serpentine presence surrounding her.

This small yet impactful piece serves as a reminder of humanity's fascination with mythology throughout history. Whether you are captivated by Greek mythology or simply appreciate fine artistry at its finest, this print invites you to explore the depths of human imagination while admiring Bocklin's extraordinary talent for bringing mythical creatures to life on canvas.
