A rolled canvas print is normally stretched on wood stretcher bars, whereas archival paper prints are not. Additionally, a stretched canvas can be framed, but it doesn't need to be. Thus, our rolled canvas prints come in their advertized size + mirrored edges by default for easy stretching. Prefer a cut to size rolled canvas print instead, because you want to frame it in a traditional fine art frame behind glass? Then just type ''cut to size'' in our personalization box (listing top right ''add your personalization''). Note that our rolled canvas prints do not come with stretcher bars or frames. Either take it to your local framer, or stretch/frame it yourself. Other sizes than listed in our drop-down menu available upon request! Have something in mind that you don't see in our shop?

“An Impossible Task,” Illustration by me, (#3 in my Quest for the Gorgon Head series) part 3: Perseus was lovingly raised into a fine young man by the fisherman who found him and his mother. Amazingly, the fisherman’s brother was King Polydectes, the ruler of Seriphos. One evening Perseus is invited to a secret banquet within the king’s hall. It is revealed the party is for guests to offer gifts to the king for a dowry to marry a neighboring princess. Many aristocrats lead fine horses before the king in generous offerings, until finally, Perseus is called up to present his contribution. The boy, unprepared, stands empty handed. Eager to prove his worth, the young man offers to acquire anything the king wishes, even “the Head of a dreaded gorgon”, he jokingly adds. The hall echoes in chuckles. But the king does not laugh. For king Polydectes, secretly desiring Perseus’ mother Danae, has cleverly devised this trap to dispose of the boy. The king immediately agrees to Perseus’ impossible suggestion. Perseus, keeping his composure, gracefully bows and retires. But how on earth can he ever hope to accomplish such an unimaginable task? He will need help. Help from the gods. Here we have an example of what Joseph Campbell deems the “Call to adventure.” This is the point in a myth or fairytale where the protagonist is either offered or forced into a quest. Sometimes the hero will turn down the call, but in the end, the journey must commence, or else we have no story.

Ubaldo Gandolfi 1728-1781 | Italian Perseus Terracotta The legendary Greek god Perseus is the subject of this elegant half-bust by Ubaldo Gandolfi, a major painter and sculptor from Bologna. The son of Zeus and Danaë, Perseus was the legendary founder of Mycenae and the Perseid dynasty, best remembered as the hero who vanquished the Gorgon Medusa. He is depicted here donning the Helmet of Hades (also known as the Cap of Invisibility), which was gifted to him by Athena to aid him in his quest to defeat the snake-haired Medusa and escape her sister. Formed from terracotta, the bust is a significant work from this artist who worked primarily as a painter. Because Bologna lacks marble quarries, artists from the region worked in more readily available materials such as clay and terracotta. Giuseppe Mazza and Angelo Pìo, along with Gandolfi himself, excelled in the medium, creating highly detailed works from the moldable material. Other works in terracotta by the artist can be found in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York) and the church of San Giovanni (Monte, Bologna).

Der von Innozenz VIII. erbaute Belvedere-Palast wurde zur Keimzelle der Vatikanischen Museen, seitdem Julius II. im Jahr 1503 im Cortile del Belvedere (auch Cortile Ottagono genannt) eine Apollo-Statue aufstellte, die man bei San Pietro in Vincoli fand. 1506 folgte die berühmte Laokoon-Gruppe, die man auf dem Esquilin-Hügel im Goldenen Haus (Domus Aurea) des Nero aufgefunden hatte. Als Napoleon Bonaparte viele antike Werke aus dem Vatikan nach Paris geschafft hatte (darunter den Apoll von Belvedere und die Laokoon-Gruppe) kaufte Papst Pius VII. drei Statuen von Antonio Canova, um den Verlust zu ersetzen. Eine der drei Statuen von Canova ist der Perseus, der mit triumphalem Blick das abgeschlagene Haupt der Medusa betrachtet. Perseus, ein Sohn des Zeus und der Danae, hatte den Auftrag, die Medusa zu töten, die jüngste und hässlichste der drei Gorgonen und ehemalige Geliebte des Poseidon, die als einzige der drei sterblich war. Da jeder sofort zu Stein erstarrte, der die Medusa direkt ansah, gab ihm Pallas Athene einen glänzenden Schild, der in der Lage war, ein Spiegelbild zurückzuwerfen. Dadurch war es Perseus möglich, der Medusa den Kopf abzuschlagen, ohne ihr direkt ins Auge zu schauen. Canova (1757 - 1822) war im späten 18. bis frühen 19. Jh. so berühmt, dass er fast als Personifizierung der neoklassizistischen Periode der europäischen Bildhauerkunst galt. Seit 1802 war Canova Oberaufseher der Kunstschätze des Kirchenstaates und 1815 war er die Rückführung der von Napoleon geraubten Kunstwerke verantwortlich.
