O obrazie
Peter Paul Rubens often painted multiple versions of paintings, and many contemporary and later copies also often survive. Rubens frequently called upon his sizable workshop to execute his large-scale works, and his enormous popularity in his own and succeeding centuries encouraged the proliferation of copies. This artist emulated Rubens's fluid handling, vigorous contours, and Andromeda's subtle *contrapposto* pose. In the Greek myth of Perseus and Andromeda, an oracle declared that the beautiful Andromeda must be sacrificed to a sea monster. Chained to a rock near Joppa, she was rescued by Perseus, who subsequently married her. Scholars think that seven versions of *Andromeda* were made, although only three are known today. The other two versions of this subject include Perseus as well as an assisting angel. In this scene, Andromeda tearfully welcomes the angel, who will melt the chain with fire.
