EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-century engraving by Laurent Cars depicts the timeless mythological tale of Perseus and Andromeda. The print, measuring 33.2x26.9 cm, showcases the artistic brilliance of Cars as he recreates the original painting by Francois Lemoyne. In this scene from Greek mythology, we witness the heroic Perseus coming to the rescue of Andromeda, an Ethiopian princess who has been chained to a rock as a sacrifice to sea monsters. With unwavering determination and courage, Perseus confronts these menacing creatures in order to save his beloved. The intricate details of this engraving transport us into a world filled with gods and mythical beings. The ethereal beauty of Andromeda contrasts with her vulnerable position while highlighting her strength in enduring such adversity. Cars skillfully captures the essence of heroism through his masterful use of shading and line work. Each stroke brings life to not only Perseus but also to the ferocious sea monsters that threaten him at every turn. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of the power that lies within us all - our ability to overcome challenges and protect those we hold dear. This print serves as a testament to human resilience and reminds us that even in moments of darkness, there is always hope for salvation. Displayed at The McManus in Dundee, UK, this engraving stands as a testament to both ancient myths and timeless artistry alike.
