Description
This is a reproduction of Troy Caperton’s Perseus of 2018. In this work Perseus stands coolly triumphant, holding up the severed head of the snake-haired gorgon Medusa, the sight of which will turn anyone into stone for gazing on it. When Perseus had killed the Medusa and put her head in a sack, he mounted on the winged sandals he had from Hermes. He flew near Joppa where he spied the Princess Andromeda chained to a rock. She was being offered as a sacrifice to Poseidon to keep the Krakyn from destroying the kingdom. Her fiancé Phineus was too cowardly to attempt to save Andromeda, but Perseus offered to King Cepheus to kill the monster. Perseus killed the monster but at the wedding feast for him and Andromeda, the partisans of Phineus invaded the palace to take Andromeda away and kill Perseus. Perseus and his followers defeated them and, using the head of Medusa, they turned Phineus and two hundred of his followers to stone. The original painting is 13 by 20 inches and is an oil on canvas mounted on wooden bars. It is n the possession of the artist.
