Perseus and Andromeda depicted in the Roman fresco from the House of the Coloured Capitals (Casa degli Capitelli colorati) in Pompeii (1-79 AD), now on display in the National Archaeological Museum (Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli) in Naples, Campania, Italy. Perseus and Andrmeda are depicted seated in amorous abandon, despite the fact that the young man holds up (in such as way as to not meet its deathly gaze) the severed head of the Gorgon.
