EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Perseus and Andromeda" takes us back to the 17th century with its timeless beauty. Created by Stefano della Bella as part of the Game of Mythology series in 1644, this etching depicts a legendary scene from Greek mythology. In this heroic tale, Perseus, a brave hero, comes to the rescue of Andromeda who is chained to a rock as an offering to Cetus, a fearsome sea monster. With his unwavering determination and strength, Perseus confronts the mythical creature head-on. The artist masterfully captures the intensity of this moment through intricate details and contrasting shades. The striking contrast between light and dark adds depth to the composition while emphasizing the courage displayed by both characters. As we gaze upon this artwork at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), we are transported into a world where mythical figures come alive. Della Bella's skillful execution allows us to witness not only their physical prowess but also their unwavering spirit. This print serves as a reminder that heroism knows no bounds - it transcends time and continues to inspire generations. It is an ode to bravery and resilience that resonates with people across cultures even today.
