"Perseus and Andromeda" is a painting by Charles Napier Kennedy, a British artist known for his classical and mythological subjects. The artwork depicts the moment from Greek mythology when the hero Perseus rescues Andromeda from the sea monster Cetus. According to the myth, Andromeda was chained to a rock as a sacrifice to appease the monster after her mother, Queen Cassiopeia, boasted that her daughter was more beautiful than the Nereids, sea nymphs.

Kennedy's interpretation of the scene captures the drama and emotion inherent in the story. The painting is characterized by its dynamic composition, with Perseus depicted in the act of slaying the monster, while Andromeda is shown in a vulnerable state, awaiting her fate. The use of color and light emphasizes the contrast between the heroism of Perseus and the despair of Andromeda, while also highlighting the tension of the encounter.

The work is a fine example of the 19th-century fascination with classical antiquity and the revival of interest in mythological themes, which were often used to explore contemporary ideas of heroism, beauty, and morality. Kennedy's "Perseus and Andromeda" not only reflects the aesthetic values of his time but also contributes to the rich tapestry of visual interpretations of ancient myths that continue to capture the imagination of audiences.

As an artist, Charles Napier Kennedy was part of the broader movement of British artists who were influenced by the neoclassical style, and his works often featured the idealized forms and clear lines associated with this artistic approach. "Perseus and Andromeda" remains one of his notable contributions to the genre, and it is appreciated for its technical skill and its ability to convey a timeless story through the medium of paint.
