"Andromeda" is a painting by the British Pre-Raphaelite artist John Roddam Spencer Stanhope (1829–1908), created in 1872. This work is a representation of the mythological figure Andromeda, who, according to Greek mythology, was the daughter of the Aethiopian king Cepheus and his wife Cassiopeia. In the myth, Andromeda is chained to a rock as a sacrifice to appease a sea monster sent by Poseidon to punish her mother's hubris for boasting that her daughter was more beautiful than the Nereids.

Stanhope's interpretation of the Andromeda myth is notable for its aesthetic qualities that align with the Pre-Raphaelite movement's emphasis on detail, color, and symbolism. The painting depicts Andromeda alone, vulnerable, and awaiting her fate, which reflects the Pre-Raphaelite interest in themes of beauty, suffering, and redemption. The work is characterized by its rich color palette, meticulous attention to detail, and the use of nature and the landscape to enhance the emotional impact of the scene.

John Roddam Spencer Stanhope was an important figure in the second generation of Pre-Raphaelite artists, and his work often delved into mythological and literary subjects. "Andromeda" is a testament to his skill in blending classical themes with the stylistic elements of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, contributing to the broader 19th-century revival of interest in mythological narratives. The painting is part of a larger body of Stanhope's work that explores similar themes and demonstrates his commitment to the ideals of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, even as it evolved over time.

"Andromeda" by Stanhope is not only a significant piece within the artist's oeuvre but also an important example of the enduring fascination with classical mythology in Victorian art. It reflects the era's complex attitudes towards femininity, beauty, and heroism, and continues to be studied for its artistic and cultural relevance. The painting is held in a private collection or a museum, and it has been exhibited and discussed in various art historical contexts, contributing to the understanding of Pre-Raphaelite art and its legacy.
