EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Giorgio Vasari's masterpiece, "Perseus and Andromeda" painted in 1572. The oil on slate painting measures an impressive 113.9x86.4 cm and is housed in the Palazzo Vecchio (Palazzo della Signoria) in Florence, Italy. The scene depicted is a thrilling moment from Greek mythology, as Perseus comes to the rescue of Andromeda who is chained to a rock by the sea monster Cetus. With his shield held high and Pegasus by his side, Perseus bravely confronts the creature while Nereids surround them in support. Vasari's Mannerist style shines through with intricate details such as the discovery of coral beneath the waves and nymphs eagerly awaiting their freedom. The composition exudes movement and drama, capturing this pivotal moment of heroism. Displayed within the Studiolo di Francesco I, this painting showcases Vasari's talent for storytelling through art. The inclusion of Medusa's severed head hanging from Perseus' hand adds another layer of symbolism to this mythological tale. Through Raffaello Bencini's expert photography skills, every brushstroke and color nuance are faithfully reproduced in this stunning print. It allows us to appreciate Vasari's genius even if we cannot witness it firsthand at Palazzo Vecchio. This print serves as a testament to both Vasari's artistic prowess and Bencini’s ability to capture its essence
