Plaque with Marriage Feast of Perseus and Andromeda 1800

This Wedgwood jasperware plaque depicts the marriage feast of Perseus and Andromeda, a popular subject in classical art. The scene features a group of figures gathered around a table, while Perseus, in the foreground, battles a group of monsters with a sword. Created by the Wedgwood Manufactory in 1800, the plaque is a beautiful example of neoclassical style in ceramic art. It is characterized by the use of white cameo figures on a blue background, which was a hallmark of Wedgwood's jasperware. The delicate detail of the figures and the elegant design of the plaque make it a valuable piece of art history.
