EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the early 1680s, witnessing a moment of triumph and transformation. The artist behind this masterpiece is none other than Luca Giordano, known for his exceptional talent in capturing the essence of Baroque art. The scene depicted here is inspired by Greek mythology and showcases Perseus turning Phineas and his followers into stone. With meticulous brushstrokes on canvas, Giordano brings to life the dramatic encounter between these legendary figures. Perseus stands tall with an air of victory as he wields his sword against Phineas and his loyal companions. The composition exudes a sense of lyricism and allegory, drawing inspiration from Ovid's poetry. The presence of Pegasus, the winged horse, adds an ethereal touch to the artwork. Medusa's head can be seen at Perseus' side, symbolizing both danger and power. Giordano's skillful use of oil paints creates a rich tapestry that captures every intricate detail - from the flowing robes to the expressions frozen in stone. This painting not only pays homage to Greek mythology but also serves as a testament to fine artistry during Italy's School of Neaple period. Now housed within the esteemed National Gallery in London, this print invites us into a world where mythological tales come alive through vibrant colors and masterful technique. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these timeless stories continue to captivate our imagination with their
