EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures the enchanting moment when Perseus, a mythological hero, rescues the beautiful princess Andromeda from her perilous fate. Engraved by Bernard Picart in 1733 as part of his remarkable book "The Temple of the Muses" this illustration brings to life one of antiquity's most remarkable events. In this scene, Perseus has just defeated the monstrous Cretus and arrives in the kingdom of Aethiopia to set Andromeda free. With his sword still glistening from battle, he stands tall and triumphant while extending a helping hand towards Andromeda. Her expression reflects both relief and admiration for her valiant savior. Picart's detailed engraving beautifully depicts this mythical encounter with its black and white composition adding an air of timelessness to the image. The fantastic creatures that inhabit ancient mythologies come alive through his skilled craftsmanship. Beyond its artistic value, this print also serves as a window into ancient beliefs and religious practices. It reminds us of paganism's influence on societies where polytheistic religions thrived. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, we are transported back in time to witness an act of bravery intertwined with love—a timeless tale that continues to captivate audiences centuries later.
