"Perseus and Andromeda" is a painting by the French Neoclassical artist Jean Auguste Dominique Ingres, completed in 1819. The work is a vivid depiction of the mythological tale from Ovid's Metamorphoses, where the hero Perseus rescues Andromeda, who has been chained to a rock as a sacrifice to a sea monster. Ingres, known for his precise draftsmanship and polished surfaces, presents the scene at the dramatic moment of Perseus's arrival, as he swoops down from the sky, having just slain the monster, to free the beautiful Andromeda.

The painting showcases Ingres's mastery of form and composition, blending classical idealization with romantic sensibility. The figures are rendered with smooth, sculptural lines that reflect Ingres's study of ancient sculpture and his admiration for Renaissance artists like Raphael. The use of chiaroscuro and the careful arrangement of figures create a harmonious balance within the composition, while the emotional intensity of the scene is heightened by the contrast between Andromeda's vulnerability and Perseus's heroic determination.

"Perseus and Andromeda" is significant in Ingres's oeuvre as it exemplifies his lifelong engagement with historical and mythological subjects, and his ability to infuse these traditional themes with a sense of modernity and psychological depth. The painting is also notable for its influence on later artists and its contribution to the Romantic movement, despite Ingres's own preference for the classical over the romantic in art.

The painting is held in a private collection and has been exhibited in various museums as part of retrospectives on Ingres's work. It continues to be studied for its technical brilliance and its place within the broader context of 19th-century European art.
