Perseus Freeing Andromeda (Wtewael)
Perseus Freeing Andromeda is a 1611 oil on canvas painter by the Dutch Mannerist painter Joachim Wtewael. Since 1982 it has been in the collection of the Louvre in Paris. A preparatory drawing for it also survives in the Albertina in Vienna, reprising the pose in the same artist's "St Sebastian Bound to a Tree" for Andromeda. In the final painting he used a less curving and more supple pose for Andromeda.
