Perseus Rescuing Andromeda (Cesari)

The two versions of the painting have similar compositions. Perseus flies on horseback, ready to confront the monster beneath him. The sea monster, its scaled hide reflecting the iridescent hues of the ocean depths, rears up menacingly, its jaws gaping wide, poised to consume its innocent victim, Andromeda, the Ethiopian princess. She stands bound and helpless as she gazes at the threat beneath her. ==Materials==
