Description

Superb Unique Antique Gilt Bronze Andromeda & The Sea Monster Superb antique gilt bronze sculpture portraying Andromeda chained to the rock as the sea monster rises from the deep to devour her. She's turned to her side looking down at the monster as it crawls up the rock to get her. She doesn't know at this time that any second Persius will come to her rescue slaying the monster, winning the heart of Andromeda and eventually marrying her. The artist that sculptured this beautiful composition was a true master. He captured in gilt bronze the beautiful Andromeda nude but for her belt and jewelry chained to the rock as she sees the fierce sea creature the expression, he captured in her face is truly remarkable she shows more concern than fear. This is the only known version of this rare bronze with a gilt finish to Andromeda and a dark bronze and gilt highlights on the sea monster. The carved marble pink rock she stands on is the perfect base the artist carved to set this magnificent sculpture on. Height from the bottom of the base to the top of her hair she measures 21 inches. From the bottom of her foot to the top of her head 15 inches. The sea monster is coming out from under the marble rock, the sea monster measures 8 inches from the part of its body that's emerging from the rock to the top of its nose.
