"Perseus Liberating Andromeda" is a 1657-58 oil on canvas painting by the Italian Baroque artist Francesco Maffei. The work depicts the mythological hero Perseus rescuing Andromeda, who is chained to a rock as a sacrifice to a sea monster. This dramatic scene, derived from Ovid's "Metamorphoses," showcases Maffei's dynamic style and his ability to convey intense emotion and movement, which are characteristic of the Baroque period.

In the painting, Perseus is shown in the act of swooping down upon the monster, having just slain it, while Andromeda looks on with a mixture of fear and relief. The composition is notable for its vigorous brushwork and the striking contrast between the lightness of Perseus and the dark, brooding presence of the monster. Maffei's use of chiaroscuro, a technique that employs strong contrasts between light and dark, enhances the three-dimensionality of the figures and adds a sense of drama to the scene.

Francesco Maffei, born in Vicenza around 1605 and active until his death in 1660, was known for his rapid execution and bold, expressive style. His works often featured mythological and historical subjects, rendered with a sense of immediacy that was well received by his contemporaries. "Perseus Liberating Andromeda" is considered one of Maffei's masterpieces and reflects his interest in the heroic and the theatrical, themes that were popular among Baroque artists and patrons.

The painting is a significant example of 17th-century Italian Baroque art and contributes to our understanding of the period's aesthetic and its fascination with dramatic narrative scenes. Today, "Perseus Liberating Andromeda" is held in a notable art collection, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistic and historical value.
