Here is Benvenuto Cellini's 16th-century statue of Perseus With the Head of Medusa, which stands in the Loggia dei Lanzi, in Florence's Piazza della Signoria. Amazing how Cellini managed to depict gushing blood—in bronze! [See more silhouettes here, at tnchick's meme.] |
Oh, that looks sinister! Excellent silhouette.

Excellent photo! Synchronous for me, as I'm currently re-reading Greek mythology.
