摘要：This paper deals with the mythological series of Perseus signed in 1662 by the Sevillian master Escobar. Several renaissance precedents in Seville are analysed, together the likely sources that contributed to the composition or the erudite reading of these picture. This background includes some plays by Lope de Vega and Calderón de la Barca. A number of prints engraved by Bernard Salomon and Antonio Tempesta from, which Escobar drew his inspiration are also discussed.
