Medusa: Horror or Hero?

Medusa's story speaks of injustice, resilience, immense power, and multiple dualities.

Mateo Leivaby Mateo Leiva
The severed head of Medusa, a woman with snake hair, is the subject of this painting. She looks terrified and agonized, with blood gushing from her cut neck. Her eyes and mouth are wide open, as if she is screaming. The snakes on her head are different colors of green, brown, and gray, and they coil and slither around her. The painting has an olive-green background. The painting depicts a scene from a Greek myth, where Perseus, a hero, slayed Medusa by using a shield that reflected her gaze, which could turn anyone to stone. The painter, Caravaggio, also made this painting a self-portrait, by using his own face as the model for Medusa.
