'''Perseus with the Head of Medusa''' is a bronze sculpture created by Italian Renaissance artist Benvenuto Cellini. It was commissioned by Cosimo I de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany, and was completed between 1545 and 1554. The sculpture stands as one of the prime examples of Italian Mannerist art and is located in the Loggia dei Lanzi of the Piazza della Signoria in Florence, Italy. The work depicts the mythological hero Perseus triumphantly holding the head of the Gorgon Medusa, after having slain her as recounted in Ovid's "Metamorphoses."

The sculpture is renowned for its extraordinary craftsmanship and the complexity of its composition. Cellini used the lost wax casting method to create the bronze figure, which stands over 3 meters tall. The statue is notable for its dynamic pose and the psychological intensity conveyed through Perseus's gaze and the gruesomely detailed head of Medusa. The work is also significant for its placement; it stands on a square base under the Loggia, surrounded by other classical and Renaissance sculptures, engaging in a silent dialogue with Giambologna's Rape of the Sabine Women and Michelangelo's David, among others.

Cellini's Perseus is not only a masterpiece of sculpture but also a testament to the political and cultural ambitions of the Medici court. It embodies the power and intellectual spirit of the Florentine Renaissance, serving as a symbol of the Medici's enlightened rule and Florence's artistic heritage. The sculpture has been the subject of extensive art historical scholarship and remains a major attraction for visitors to Florence, contributing to the city's reputation as a center of Renaissance art.
