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.
