The Liberation of Andromeda

A story in three parts: with winged feet, Perseus flies in to kill the monster Cetus and rescue his future bride, to the celebration of the crowd. My sister is in Rome, a bride herself, honeymooning. They sent me this postcard and said it reminded her of my dreams. And here it is for you.
Piero di Cosimo - 1515 - @ Wisdom Portal

That's fantastic. Especially the detail of the water surrounding Cetus. Looks more like the Ren stuff from some of the Dutch masters than Italian. Very cool.

I like the two little soldiers hustling down from the town on the left.

Me, too, but I feel like it would be like when you are a kid and put water wings on your ankles to try and walk on water.
