Antonio Tempesta's etching "Phineus verstoort de bruiloft van Perseus en Andromeda" from 1606 depicts a scene of chaos at the wedding of Perseus and Andromeda. The artwork depicts the mythical event where Phineus, a former suitor to Andromeda, interrupts the wedding, resulting in a fight between him and Perseus. The etching is characterized by its intricate detail and dynamic composition, using strong lines and contrasting light and shadow to create a sense of drama and movement. It is a prime example of Tempesta's work, which often featured scenes from classical mythology.
