"Perseus and Andromeda" is a notable oil painting by the Swedish-German artist David Klocker Ehrenstrahl (1628–1698). Created in the Baroque style, this artwork is part of Ehrenstrahl's oeuvre that reflects the grandeur and dynamism characteristic of 17th-century European art. The painting depicts the mythological tale of Perseus, a hero in Greek mythology, rescuing Andromeda, the daughter of the Ethiopian king Cepheus and Queen Cassiopeia, from a sea monster.

In the myth, Andromeda is chained to a rock as a sacrifice to appease the monster, sent by Poseidon to punish Cassiopeia for her boastfulness. Perseus, having just slain the Gorgon Medusa, happens upon the scene and falls in love with Andromeda. He uses Medusa's head to turn the monster to stone and saves Andromeda, whom he later marries.

Ehrenstrahl's rendition of this dramatic rescue captures the moment of Perseus's heroic intervention. The composition typically would showcase the muscular hero wielding Medusa's head, with Andromeda depicted in a vulnerable state, emphasizing the contrast between heroism and distress. The painting is rich in symbolism and reflects the Baroque fascination with dramatic narratives, movement, and emotional intensity.

David Klocker Ehrenstrahl was a prominent court painter in Sweden, and his works often included portraits, allegories, and historical scenes. "Perseus and Andromeda" is a testament to his skill in handling mythological subjects and his ability to infuse them with a sense of immediacy and theatricality. The painting not only serves as an example of Ehrenstrahl's artistic prowess but also provides insight into the cultural and aesthetic values of the Baroque period.
