Perseus describes in his wedding speech how he beheaded Medusa, and how she came to have snakes in her hair.
Medusa
Sisters at the heart of the myth of Perseus, Medusa and Andromeda. In painting by Burne-Jones, Caravaggio, Malczewski, Klimt and others.
How Perseus came to behead Medusa, and how her head restored order to the worst wedding reception ever. In paint, of course.
Formerly a beautiful young woman, she was turned into a monster by Minerva, and painted by Caravaggio, Rubens, Klimt, and others.
Not just superb paintings, but one of the great visual tropes of Western art, and one of the best wedding speeches ever.
