"Perseus and Andromeda" is a baroque painting by the Italian artist Paolo di Matteis, created in the late 17th or early 18th century. The artwork depicts 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. Di Matteis, known for his dynamic compositions and vibrant use of color, captures the dramatic moment of Perseus's arrival, swooping down from the sky, having just slain the monster, to free the distressed Andromeda.

The painting is a fine example of the grand manner of history painting, which was highly valued during the Baroque period for its ability to convey complex narratives and evoke emotional responses from the viewer. Di Matteis's work is characterized by its theatricality, the elegance of its figures, and its rich, luminous palette. The artist's mastery of light and shadow is evident in the way he highlights the figures of Perseus and Andromeda, drawing the viewer's attention to the central action of the scene.

"Perseus and Andromeda" reflects the influence of the artist's Neapolitan background and his exposure to the work of Luca Giordano, with whom he studied. Di Matteis's interpretation of the mythological subject matter is imbued with the spirit of the High Baroque, emphasizing movement, emotion, and the interplay of light and color to create a sense of drama.

This painting is an important work in the oeuvre of Paolo di Matteis, showcasing his skill as a storyteller through the medium of paint and his ability to translate the grand themes of mythology and heroism into compelling visual narratives. It remains an exemplary piece of Baroque art, demonstrating the era's fascination with classical antiquity and the power of visual arts to bring such stories to life.
