Huwelijk van Perseus en Andromeda after 1525

This print, "The Marriage of Perseus and Andromeda," was created by Battista Angolo del Moro. The composition arranges figures in two distinct registers, creating a clear visual hierarchy. The upper register features two kneeling figures, mirroring each other as they adorn a classical urn with garlands. The lower register depicts a more intimate scene, with figures reclining and interacting in a domestic setting. Del Moro uses line and form to separate the idealized, public ceremony from the more private, human interactions below. The classical urn, centrally placed, acts as a focal point. This division reflects a structuralist approach, separating social roles and personal relationships into discrete, yet connected, spheres of experience. The artist's use of line creates a sense of depth and texture, inviting viewers to contemplate the interplay between public duty and private emotion. As such, the work encapsulates a broader cultural discourse of how individuals negotiate their identities and relationships within societal frameworks.
