books0977:Andromeda. Carlo Francesco Nuvolone (Italian, 1609-1662). Oil on panel.Nuvolone is the typical exponent of the Lombard style of painting, characterized by the strong contrast between light and shadow, and the distinctive sweetness in his figures. Here, Andromeda seems to be leafing through a book, an unusual activity, as she is chained to the rocks, Poseidon is sending the sea monster Cetus to ravage her as divine punishment, and she is being saved from death by Perseus. -- source link
