Pierre Woeiriot's "Perillus Condemned To The Bronze Bull By Phalaris" is a significant work of art that captures a dramatic and historical moment from ancient Greek mythology. Created by the French artist and engraver Pierre Woeiriot in the 16th century, this piece exemplifies the intricate and emotive style that Woeiriot was known for. The artwork depicts the harrowing tale of Perillus, an Athenian inventor, who presented the tyrant Phalaris of Agrigentum with a gruesome execution device known as the brazen bull. According to legend, Phalaris, known for his cruelty, ordered Perillus to be the first victim of his own invention, thereby testing its efficacy.

Woeiriot's rendering of this scene is notable for its detailed and expressive portrayal of the figures involved. The artist's mastery in engraving is evident in the fine lines and careful shading that bring the characters and their emotions to life. The composition of the piece draws the viewer's eye to the central figures of Perillus and Phalaris, capturing the tension and impending doom of the moment. The brazen bull itself is depicted with meticulous attention to detail, emphasizing its menacing presence.

This work is a reflection of the Renaissance interest in classical antiquity and the humanist fascination with stories of moral and ethical dilemmas from ancient history. Woeiriot's choice of subject matter and his execution of the piece highlight the period's artistic and intellectual engagement with themes of power, cruelty, and justice. "Perillus Condemned To The Bronze Bull By Phalaris" stands as a testament to Woeiriot's skill as an engraver and his ability to convey complex narratives through his art.
