Andromède by Gustave Doré is a renowned work of art that showcases the exceptional talent and imaginative prowess of the French artist, Paul Gustave Louis Christophe Doré (1832–1883). This masterpiece, which delves into the realms of mythology and fantasy, is a testament to Doré's versatility as an artist, who was celebrated not only for his paintings but also for his wood engravings, illustrations, and sculptures.

The artwork depicts the mythological story of Andromeda, a figure from Greek mythology who was the daughter of Cepheus and Cassiopeia, king and queen of the kingdom of Aethiopia. According to the myth, Andromeda was chained to a rock as a sacrifice to appease a sea monster, sent by Poseidon to punish Cassiopeia's boast that her daughter was more beautiful than the Nereids. The scene captured by Doré is one of dramatic intensity, portraying Andromeda's vulnerability and the imminent danger posed by the monster, while also hinting at her eventual rescue by Perseus.

Gustave Doré's interpretation of Andromède is characterized by his signature detailed and dramatic style, with a keen attention to the emotional intensity of the scene. His use of light and shadow, along with the intricate detailing of the figures and the landscape, contributes to the overall dramatic effect, making the artwork a compelling visual narrative of the mythological tale.

This piece is part of Doré's broader oeuvre, which includes illustrations for major literary works, such as Dante's Divine Comedy, Cervantes's Don Quixote, and the Bible, showcasing his ability to transcend the boundaries of genre and medium. Andromède remains a significant work within Doré's portfolio, exemplifying his skill in bringing mythological stories to life through his art. It continues to be celebrated for its artistic merit and its contribution to the visual interpretation of classical mythology, holding a place of prominence in the study of 19th-century European art.
