Perseus and the Gorgon is a sculptural group by French artist Laurent Marqueste composed of five statues made between 1875 and 1903.

Marqueste had to make another plaster statue in 1887, which is now located in musée des Augustins.

The white marble made in 1890 is now in the chapel of the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon.

It was acquired by the French state in 1890 for 18,000 francs and was stored at the Musée du Luxembourg (1890-1913) and the Dépôt des marbres (from 1931).

It was moved to the Musée d’Orsay in 1986 and then to its present home in 1999.
