Perseus Rescuing Andromeda is the title of two paintings by the Italian artist Giuseppe Cesari, also known as Cavaliere d'Arpino.

The sea monster, its scaled hide reflecting the iridescent hues of the ocean depths, rears up menacingly, its jaws gaping wide, poised to consume its innocent victim, Andromeda, the Ethiopian princess.

[3] When working on lapis lazuli, he uses the stone's rich blue hue to represent the vast expanse of sky, which serves as the backdrop for the heroic rescue.

In his painting on limestone, Cesari capitalizes on the stone's natural green-gray tones to fashion the rugged crags that loom behind Andromeda, lending a sense of formidable grandeur to the landscape.

[3] In other works, Cesari explored different materials such as slate and wood, where each medium contributes distinct nuances to the final composition.
