"Scenes from the Story of Perseus" is a study for a fresco created around 1546 by the Italian Renaissance artist Perino del Vaga, also known as Pietro Bonaccorsi. This work was intended for the Sala del Perseo in the Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome, a historic fortress originally commissioned by the Roman Emperor Hadrian as a mausoleum and later transformed into a papal residence and military stronghold.

Perino del Vaga, a prominent figure in the Mannerist movement, was a student of Raphael and an influential artist in his own right. His work on the frescoes in the Castel Sant'Angelo represents a significant contribution to the artistic heritage of the Renaissance period. The "Scenes from the Story of Perseus" depict various episodes from the mythological adventures of Perseus, a hero from Greek mythology known for slaying the Gorgon Medusa and rescuing Andromeda from a sea monster.

The frescoes in the Sala del Perseo were part of a larger decorative program commissioned by Pope Paul III Farnese, who sought to embellish the Castel Sant'Angelo with artworks that celebrated classical mythology and the virtues of heroism and divine favor. Perino del Vaga's studies for these frescoes demonstrate his mastery of composition, anatomy, and the dramatic use of space and light, which are characteristic of the Mannerist style.

Although the original frescoes have suffered from the ravages of time, the surviving studies provide valuable insight into Perino del Vaga's creative process and the artistic milieu of mid-16th century Rome. These preparatory works reveal the artist's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to convey complex narratives through dynamic and expressive figures. The "Scenes from the Story of Perseus" stand as a testament to Perino del Vaga's skill and his contribution to the rich tapestry of Renaissance art.
