"Medea Returning the Penates to Jason" is an engraving by Georg Pencz, a German artist active in the early 16th century. The print depicts the sorceress Medea, naked and seated, handing a small sculpture of a man riding a bird to a fully-armored Jason. This artwork is a depiction of a famous myth of Greek mythology, in which Medea betrays her father and flees with Jason, the hero of the Golden Fleece. The engraving is notable for its detailed depiction of the figures and their clothing, as well as its dramatic use of light and shadow.
