Andromeda was given in sacrifice to Poseidon's dragon-like monster by her mother, Queen Cassiopeia, and is depicted by Leighton being rescued by Perseus mounted on his Pegasus shooting an arrow from the air. Notably using white light to communicate the pure and innocent white body of Andromeda, Leighton is renowned for the dreamlike vividness and exotic symbolism in his Pre-Raphaelite works. As an English Academic and Classic Victorian artist, Leighton drew inspiration from classic art, mythology and legends. The authentic stretched canvas replica painting captures the original work's texture, depth of color, and even its subtle brushstrokes, which are applied by hand. This replica European style, bright gold-toned, ribbed frame is cast in quality designer resin with an acanthus leaf and floret border that draws the eye toward the beautiful image. Proudly printed and framed in the USA using imported molding.
