AF-LX-1143.T.jpg

A large etching after Carracci's Loves of the Gods cycle in the Palazzo Farnese. the print is a perspectival view down one of the halls of the Fafrnese Gallery. At the end is a scene of Perseus and Andromeda. The collection's interest in that myth has to do with the sea monster threatening Andromeda. Numerous other mythological scenes from Carracci can be seen in other panels and paintings.
