Jeff Koons at the Ashmolean - Gazing Ball (Tiger Hunt)

“I love to make reference to other artists - kind of art about art in that it’s a way to time travel, pay homage to our forebears. Everything - all the information, all the knowledge, everything that has been brought to the table to this moment”

Peter Paul Rubens painted The Tiger Hunt in 1616 in Antwerp. In Koons’s work, the gazing ball covers up the view through to the bright, blue seascape; the world behind the action is replaced with the world in front of it. 

See this work and many more in Jeff Koons at the Ashmolean until 9 Jun. Booking essential #JeffKoonsOxford

Perseus and Andromeda, 1891, by Frederic Leighton (1830-1896).

This painting depicts the Greek myth of Andromeda. Andromeda was the daughter of the King and Queen of Ethiopia. Her mother made the bold claim that her daughter was more beautiful than any sea nymph. Once hearing this, the sea nymphs called on their father Poseidon to take control of a sea monster, and attack the Ethiopian kingdom. Seeing no alternative, the King and Queen chained their daughter to a rock, sacrificing her.

Heroically, Perseus was flying his famed winged horse Pegasus nearby, and came to save Andromeda by slaying the beast. Perseus and Andromeda then fell in love.

Leighton portrays the moment in which Perseus, seen flying above, shooting arrows at the beast. Andromeda stands helpless and contorted under threat.
