Perseus and Andromeda, Giulio Sanuto, after Titiaan, after Albrecht Dürer, c. 1550 - c. 1570
engraving, h 385mm × w 510mm More details
Zobel was very partial to the work of Giulio Sanuto. He had at least six prints by this Venetian printmaker in his album, including this large engraving after a design by the famous Venetian painter Titian. We see the nude princess Andromeda chained to a rock, a human sacrifice for a ferocious sea monster. She is rescued by the hero Perseus who flies down, headlong, to attack the creature.
