Wilhelm Kümpel's "Andromeda Chained to the Rock" from 1847 depicts the Greek mythological figure Andromeda, a princess of Ethiopia, chained to a rock as a sacrifice to a sea monster. This painting, currently housed in the SMK - Statens Museum for Kunst, showcases Kümpel's mastery of realism, with detailed rendering of Andromeda's anatomy and the flowing fabric of her garment. The painting's dramatic composition, highlighting Andromeda's vulnerability and despair, engages the viewer in the myth's timeless themes of sacrifice and redemption.
