=== Varied materials and approaches === Apart from oil on canvas, artists have used a variety of materials to depict the myth of Andromeda, including the sculptor [[Domenico Guidi]]'s marble, and [[François Boucher]]'s etching. In [[modern art]] of the 20th century, artists moved to depict the myth in new ways. [[Félix Vallotton]]'s 1910 ''Perseus Killing the Dragon'' is one of several paintings, such as his 1908 ''The Rape of Europa'', in which the artist depicts human bodies using a harsh light which makes them appear brutal.<ref name="Vallotton.com">{{cite web |title=Biography |url=http://felix-vallotton.com/artists_en |website=Félix Vallotton |access-date=29 December 2022}}</ref> [[Alexander Liberman]]'s 1962 ''Andromeda'' is a black circle on a white field, transected by purple and dark green [[crescent]] arcs.<ref>{{cite web |title=Alexander Liberman: Andromeda: 1962 |url=https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/liberman-andromeda-t00650 |publisher=[[Tate Gallery]] |access-date=29 December 2022}}</ref> <gallery class="center" mode="nolines" widths="180px" heights="180px"> File:Andromeda and the Sea Monster MET DP248138.jpg|[[Domenico Guidi]], marble statue ''Andromeda and the Sea Monster'', 1694 File:François Boucher - Andromeda (Andromède) - 2016.7 - Cleveland Museum of Art.tif|[[François Boucher]], etching print ''Andromeda'', 1732 File:Félix Vallotton Persée tuant le dragon 1910.JPG|[[Félix Vallotton]], ''Perseus Killing the Dragon'', 1910, in a deliberately harsh light.
