"Meduse: A Mythical Journey Through Art and Nature" Step into the captivating world of "Meduse, " where art and nature intertwine to tell tales of ancient mythology. From Jules Verne's iconic novel, "20, 000 Leagues Under the Seas, " to mesmerizing illustrations and engravings depicting Perseus' encounter with Medusa, this collection takes you on a visual journey through time. The enchantment begins with an exquisite illustration from 1870, showcasing an otherworldly scene from Verne's masterpiece. As your eyes wander further, they meet the Basket sea star, Gorgonocephalus eucnemis - a creature that seems to have emerged straight out of mythological lore. Abandoned on a medusa raft lies another intriguing piece in this puzzle. What story does it hold? Perhaps it is reminiscent of Perseus' daring quest to slay Medusa herself. Oil paintings and engravings depict this epic battle between man and monster; one can almost feel the tension as Perseus wields his sword against the terrifying Gorgon. Bronze sculptures capture moments frozen in time - Perseus triumphantly holding Medusa's severed head aloft. These masterpieces from different eras showcase how artists throughout history have been captivated by this timeless tale. But not all depictions are focused solely on Perseus; some explore the haunting beauty of Medusa herself. Pen & ink drawings bring forth emotions as we witness The Raft of the Medusa – a scene filled with despair and hopelessness amidst turbulent waves. A glimpse into Greek antiquity reveals a copy of an original vase adorned with Gorgon's Head – its vibrant colors breathing life into ancient myths once again. And finally, Kunstformen der Natur presents us with delicate yet striking colored engravings capturing jellyfish in their ethereal gracefulness.
