EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving from the Kean Collection, we are transported to the realm of Greek mythology as we witness Perseus, a legendary hero, embark on a daring rescue mission. The scene unfolds with Andromeda, portrayed as a vulnerable figure chained to unforgiving rocks by her desperate parents. As tension fills the air, Cetus, an ominous sea serpent sent by Poseidon himself, looms menacingly over her. Perseus emerges as our valiant protagonist in this black and white masterpiece. With unwavering determination etched upon his face, he brandishes his weapon and fearlessly plunges it into the heart of Cetus. His heroic act symbolizes not only physical strength but also resilience in the face of adversity. This powerful image serves as a representation of Greek culture's fascination with mythical heroes who embody extraordinary bravery and selflessness. It invites us to reflect on themes such as sacrifice and triumph over seemingly insurmountable odds. As we gaze upon this remarkable engraving capturing a pivotal moment in Greek mythology's rich tapestry, we cannot help but be drawn into its timeless allure. It reminds us that even amidst chaos and danger, there will always be those willing to rise above their own limitations for the sake of others – true heroes whose stories continue to inspire generations throughout history.
