Luca Giordano
(1634 Neapel - 1705 ebenda) attr.;
Perseus bannt Phineus mit dem Haupt der Medusa
Kompakte, vielfigurige, dynamisch gespannte Darstellung der mythologischen Erzählung nach den Metamorphosen des Ovid (5. Buch, Vers 1-235), wohl Entwurf für ein Fresko. Es ereignete sich ein grausiges Gemetzel genau in dem Moment, als das Hochzeitsmahl für Perseus und Andromeda stattfinden sollte. Ihr Onkel und früherer Verlobter Phineus stürzt sich mit seinen Truppen auf Perseus und seine Männer, bis dieser zuletzt mit dem Haupt der Gorgo die verbliebenen Gefolgsleute und schließlich auch Phineus selbst zu Stein verwandelt. Auf dieser Zeichnung hält Perseus mit der ausgestreckten, erhobenen Linken den abgeschlagenen Kopf der Medusa, ihm gegenüber Phineus mit gezücktem Schwert. Giordano, der zu den bedeutenden Meistern des italienischen Barock gehörte, hat das Thema mehrfach in Gemälden festgehalten, u. a. in der National Gallery of Art in London und im Königspalast in Genua. Feder u. lavierte Tusche/Papier. L. u. bez. oder sign. "Luca Giordano". Ger. gebräunt u. fleckig. 26,5 cm x 41,5 cm (Blatt), Rahmen.
Attributed to Luca Giordano (1634 - 1705). Pen and ink wash on paper. Inscribed or signed "Luca Giordano". Minor light toning and stains.
