Andromeda is a 1640 oil by Unknown, a Early Baroque Italian work, held at J. Paul Getty Museum.
This painting depicts a nude woman standing on a rocky beach, her arms raised above her head as she gazes upwards. A small cherub perches on her right arm, while a red cloth lies at her feet. The woman's long hair cascades down her back, and her body is positioned in a dynamic pose. The background features a dark, stormy sky with a body of water in the distance. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a dramatic contrast between light and dark, drawing the viewer's attention to the woman's figure. The brushstrokes are bold and expressive, with visible texture adding depth to the image.
