The figure of Medusa is a subject that has left a clearly visible trace over the centuries; it, or more often her head alone, the gorgoneion. The oldest plastic representations of the myth that have come down to us are a representation of Perseus killing Medusa under the eyes of Athena, on a metope from Selinunte (540 BC, today in the Archaeological Museum of Palermo) and a Medusa on the western pediment of the temple of Artemis in Corfu (580 BC, now in the Archaeological Museum of Corfu).
Among the many paintings in which she is represented, the most well-known are Caravaggio's Shield with the Head of Medusa (circa 1590) and The Medusa by Pieter Paul Rubens (circa 1618); rather well known are the sculptures Perseus with the head of Medusa by Benvenuto Cellini (1545-1554) and Bust of Medusa by Gian Lorenzo Bernini (1630).
