"Medusa" is a painting by the Swiss symbolist artist Arnold Böcklin, created in 1878. This artwork is part of Böcklin's exploration of mythological themes, which he revisited throughout his career. The painting depicts the Gorgon Medusa, a figure from Greek mythology known for her hair of living, venomous snakes and her gaze, which turned onlookers to stone.

In Böcklin's rendition, Medusa is portrayed with a haunting and enigmatic expression, her head slightly tilted, suggesting a sense of tragic inevitability. The serpents in her hair are rendered with meticulous detail, enhancing the sense of horror and fascination that the figure has historically evoked. The use of color and light in the painting accentuates the supernatural aspect of the character, with Medusa often interpreted as a symbol of fatal attraction and the destructive power of beauty.

"Medusa" reflects Böcklin's interest in the psychological depth and the darker aspects of human nature, themes that are recurrent in his body of work. The painting is emblematic of the Symbolist movement, which sought to represent ideas and emotions through powerful imagery and was often characterized by a fascination with the mythical and the dreamlike.

The artwork is significant in the context of Böcklin's oeuvre as it encapsulates his skill in blending the real with the surreal, and the beautiful with the grotesque. "Medusa" remains an important work for the study of Symbolism and continues to be a subject of scholarly interest for its complex interplay of themes and its striking visual composition.
