This Month’s Art Print
The Head of Medusa
Drawn from Perseus Holding the Head of Medusa (most famously sculpted by Benvenuto Cellini and housed in Florence, Italy), this study captures Medusa not in life, but in the charged aftermath of her defeat. Her severed head hovers between horror and tragic stillness, presenting the viewer with both her power and her punishment.
Historically, Medusa was synonymous with monstrosity: a woman whose gaze turned men to stone, her beauty transformed into terror. In classical mythology, the once-priestess was cursed by Athena after being seduced by Poseidon, an act that broke her vow of chastity.
In this clean-cut version of events, Medusa’s fate functions as a cautionary tale of a woman’s daring deviance, her violent end a glorification of retaliation against women’s autonomy. Renaissance-era symbolism leaned into this narrative, using Medusa as a dramatic emblem of conquered chaos and masculine triumph.
Yet in modern revisits of the tale, a more complicated and compelling story surfaces. Medusa was not seduced by Poseidon, but forcibly taken, and—unable to retaliate against the god—Athena instead punished the victim. In this telling, Medusa was not born a monster, but was made one. Contemporary interpretations reclaim her image as a symbol of justified rage and female power, her gaze now a symbol of autonomy and her death a tragedy.
This month’s print invites you to look twice. Gaze past the myths and villains you were taught to fear, and instead, distinguish if there is a more ignored evil.

Drawn from Michaelangelo’s Statue of David (located in Florence, Italy), this homage to the renaissance masterpiece depicts the pensive underdog right before his fated battle with the giant, Goliath. The color palette is largely made of cool blues and green with accents of deep red which highlight David’s focus and intensity.
The original statue was carved from solid marble to showcase the idea human form, perfect in both musculature and proportion. It was a created in a period of ideological re-awakening, during which blind faith in the divine was becoming replaced with more humanistic and individualistic thought.
While the statue’s physique highlights beauty, Michaelangelo’s choice to depict David specifically implies a return to classical (as in Ancient Greece) beliefs of intellect and critical thinking; for it it was David’s creativity and wit that granted him victory in his battle.
