EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Perseus Delivers Andromeda from the Sea Monster" we are transported to a mythical world filled with heroism and romance. Created by Bernard Picart in 1731, this print beautifully captures the dramatic rescue of Andromeda, who is depicted as a vulnerable yet resolute figure chained to a rocky outcrop. The scene unfolds against the backdrop of an expansive ocean, its waves crashing against the rocks. Perseus, our valiant hero, soars through the air with his winged shoes and brandishes his sword ready to confront the fearsome sea monster threatening Andromeda's life. The artist skillfully portrays Perseus' determination and strength as he swoops down from above. Amidst this perilous situation, love prevails as Cupid hovers nearby, symbolizing that it was their deep affection that brought these two souls together. Sepia tones lend an ethereal quality to the composition while emphasizing its classical roots. Picart's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every element of this artwork - from the intricate scales of the dragon-like sea monster to Perseus' muscular form and Andromeda's delicate beauty. This engraving not only showcases artistic mastery but also invites us into a timeless tale where bravery triumphs over adversity. Displayed within The Stapleton Collection at a private collection today, this print continues to captivate viewers with its evocative storytelling and serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with
