"The Liberation of Andromeda". Oil on canvas. Inscription in the lower right corner that reads: "ANDROMEDAM ABOLVIT PELAGI DISCRIMINE MONSTRI PERSEUS, ENSE FERO OVO SIBI DVXIT EAM" (Perseus freed Andromeda from the danger of the sea monster in fierce combat that led her to him). On the back notarial text, dated June 30, 1977, in which Mr. Juan Eduardo Iriarte Seigne attributes the work to Alonso de Escobar. Old frame with some deterioration.

To the right of the work is represented King Cepheus, father of Andromeda and husband of Cassiopeia, who contemplates the sacrifice of his daughter before the sea monster. The silhouette of the city behind the rock evokes Seville in the 17th century.

The general scheme of the work is taken from the work of Bernardo Salomón with some elements of Tempesta.

This work also presents an important symbolic component because the beast, symbol of all vices, finds its end at the hands of Perseus. 116 x 164cm
