"Fontein met Perseus en Andromeda" (Fountain with Perseus and Andromeda) is an etching by Louis de Châtillon, a Dutch artist who specialized in architectural designs and engravings. Created between 1672 and 1686, this print depicts the mythical scene of Perseus rescuing Andromeda from the sea monster Cetus. The composition emphasizes the dramatic moment of Perseus' victory, with Andromeda tied to the rock and the sea monster's monstrous form. This work is now part of the Rijksmuseum's collection in Amsterdam.
