About the piece
Painted in 1727 by Charles-Antoine Coypel for a prestigious royal competition, this work captures the dramatic climax of the myth of Perseus and Andromeda. The composition is a tour de force of movement, contrasting the ethereal descent of the hero with the churning sea and the theatrical desperation of the gathered figures on the shore. It stands as a prime example of the French style as it transitioned from Baroque grandeur to Rococo elegance.
