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.
