"Perseus Arming" is a notable sculpture by the English artist Sir Alfred Gilbert, created in the late 19th century. Gilbert, who was born on August 12, 1854, and died on November 4, 1934, was a prominent sculptor of the New Sculpture movement, which sought to break away from the constraints of Victorian academic sculpture through a return to naturalism and the introduction of symbolism.

The sculpture depicts the mythological hero Perseus as he prepares for his quest to slay the Gorgon Medusa, a monster with snakes for hair whose gaze could turn onlookers to stone. This moment of arming captures Perseus in a state of contemplation and determination, highlighting the psychological intensity of the narrative. Gilbert's work is characterized by its intricate detail, dynamic composition, and the emotional depth of its subjects.

"Perseus Arming" is a testament to Gilbert's skill in bronze casting and his innovative approach to mythological themes. The work is part of a series of sculptures by Gilbert that explore the Perseus myth, including the famous "Perseus with the Head of Medusa." Gilbert's fascination with the character of Perseus is reflected in the careful attention to the hero's muscular form, the textural contrast of his armor and the fluidity of his drapery, which all serve to convey the tension of the impending battle with Medusa.

The sculpture is an important example of the New Sculpture movement's impact on British art and its departure from the neoclassical traditions that dominated the 19th century. "Perseus Arming" is not only a representation of a classical hero but also a reflection of the era's changing attitudes towards art, myth, and emotion. Gilbert's work is celebrated for its technical mastery and its ability to evoke a narrative through the medium of sculpture.

Today, "Perseus Arming" is recognized as a significant work in the oeuvre of Alfred Gilbert and in the history of British sculpture. It is appreciated for its artistic merit and as a piece that encapsulates the innovative spirit of its time. The sculpture can be found in art historical texts and is studied for its contribution to the development of modern sculpture.
