"Perseus and Andromeda" is a painting by Sir Edward John Poynter, a prominent British artist of the 19th century known for his historical and mythological subjects. Completed in 1872, this work is a quintessential example of the Victorian fascination with classical antiquity and reflects the academic style of painting prevalent during Poynter's time. The painting depicts the moment from Greek mythology when the hero Perseus rescues Andromeda, who has been chained to a rock as a sacrifice to a sea monster sent by Poseidon.

The composition is dramatic and romantic, capturing the instant of Perseus's arrival as he swoops down from the sky, having just slain the monster, to free the distressed Andromeda. Poynter's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the rendering of textures and the anatomical accuracy of the figures, showcasing his academic training and skill. The use of light and shadow, along with the vivid portrayal of emotion on the characters' faces, heightens the tension and drama of the scene.

"Perseus and Andromeda" is celebrated for its technical excellence and its embodiment of the Victorian era's ideals of beauty and heroism. The painting is also a testament to Poynter's mastery of classical themes and his ability to infuse them with a sense of immediacy and narrative power. As a significant work in Poynter's oeuvre, it contributes to the understanding of the cultural and artistic milieu of late 19th-century Britain and remains an important piece in the study of Victorian art and its interpretations of mythological subjects.
