Meleager and Atalanta 

This etching by Giovanni Battista Piranesi, titled *Perseus and Andromeda*, depicts the Greek mythological scene where the hero Perseus rescues Andromeda from a sea monster. The scene shows Andromeda chained to a rock, while Perseus descends from the sky, sword in hand, ready to slay the monster. Piranesi's etching captures the dramatic tension and heroic action of the moment with masterful detail, evident in the textured depiction of the sea monster's scales and the folds of Perseus's cloak.
