The first caused war between centaurs and humans, in the second many were turned into stone, and the third caused the Trojan War
Nattier
How Perseus came to behead Medusa, and how her head restored order to the worst wedding reception ever. In paint, of course.
How Romulus carefully planned the abduction of maidens to satisfy Rome’s need for wives, and his subsequent wars. Splendid paintings by Poussin, David, Ingres, Guercino, and Nattier.
In which Romulus, as the founder of the city of Rome, successfully defends the city against the Sabines, before his apotheosis, and that of his Sabine wife, Hersilia.
Definitely a wedding to remember: how Perseus and Andromeda didn’t have a photographer but a sculptor to preserve their memories.
