Study for the Head of the Gorgon by the Italian Symbolist painter Giulio Aristide Sartorio‚ c․ 1895․ This haunting art print depicts the pale head and upper portion of the Gorgon’s body‚ with reddish-colored hair and dark serpentine forms‚ set against a greyish black background․ The overall image has a mysterious‚ yet perilous beauty․
It is not simple decorative art․ It is mythological‚ sensual‚ dark and symbolic․ The print has links with Medusa‚ the deadly Gorgon of classical mythology‚ but with Sartorio she is not a monster but a destructive femme fatale‚ and so it will appeal to lovers of Symbolist art‚ symbols of women in mythology‚ dark academia decor‚ Gothic interiors‚ and art prints in museum style․ The work would look well in the home‚ perhaps a bedroom‚ library or study‚ an art studio‚ or a gallery wall in classical‚ vintage‚ mythological or dark romantic style․
