"Perseus and Andromeda" is a renowned oil painting by the Dutch Mannerist artist Joachim Wtewael, created circa 1611. The painting depicts the mythological story of Perseus, the Greek hero, rescuing Andromeda, the daughter of the Ethiopian king Cepheus and queen Cassiopeia, from a sea monster. According to the myth, Andromeda was chained to a rock as a sacrifice to appease the monster, sent by Poseidon to punish Cassiopeia for her boastfulness.

Wtewael's interpretation of the scene is a vivid and dynamic representation of the moment of rescue, with Perseus depicted in the act of slaying the monster, while Andromeda appears both vulnerable and graceful in her bondage. The work is characterized by its intricate composition, rich color palette, and the detailed rendering of figures, which is typical of the Mannerist style that flourished in Europe during the late Renaissance. The painting's dramatic lighting and the contorted poses of the figures reflect the tension and emotion of the narrative.

This painting is one of several versions of the subject that Wtewael executed throughout his career, demonstrating the popularity of the Perseus and Andromeda theme in the period's art. The work is noted for its fine craftsmanship and is considered an important example of Northern Mannerism, showcasing Wtewael's skill in blending Northern European artistic traditions with the more exaggerated forms and compositions inspired by Italian Mannerism.

"Perseus and Andromeda" by Joachim Wtewael is held in high esteem for its art historical significance and is part of the collection of the Louvre Museum in Paris, where it continues to be studied and admired for its aesthetic qualities and its representation of mythological themes in the context of 17th-century Dutch art.
