Discover Medusa in under three minutes! 🐍 From Greek vase painting to the Versace logo, the myth of Medusa is one of the most famous to survive from classical antiquity. Join our specialist, @lizziebanf, to learn more about this extraordinary shield by Arnold Böcklin.

Compelled by the idea of creating 3D works, Böcklin puts the Gorgon’s head in high-relief, and bestows her with an equally abhorrent and mesmerising stare. Feared as a deadly monster who could turn any man to stone, Medusa’s hair is here made up of the writhing snakes for which she’s traditionally known.

The medusenschild (shield with the head of medusa) is currently on view in London, ahead of the 19th and 20th Century Sculpture Auction. Click the link in bio to learn more.

Our New Bond Street galleries are open from 10am-5pm.
