EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Cupid Going Away, 1866" takes us back to the enchanting world of Greek mythology. Created by the renowned artist Sir Edward Burne-Jones, this woodcut is a scene from The Tale of Cupid & Psyche. Measuring at 10.5x16 cm, it showcases Burne-Jones' exceptional attention to detail and his mastery in capturing emotions. In this mesmerizing image, we witness a poignant moment as Cupid prepares to depart on an ethereal journey. Kneeling before him is a female figure representing Psyche, her face illuminated by the soft glow of candlelight. With wings gracefully spread behind him, Cupid's departure seems imminent as he disappears into thin air. The monochrome composition adds an air of mystery and timelessness to the scene while emphasizing the classical elements present throughout. This pre-Raphaelite masterpiece beautifully depicts love's fleeting nature and captures the essence of mythological storytelling. Designed by Burne-Jones himself but expertly cut in woodblock by Elizabeth Burden in 1866, this print holds both artistic significance and historical value. It invites viewers into a realm where gods roam among mortals and love becomes an enduring quest for truth. Courtesy of Julian Hartnoll Fine Art Finder brings us yet another remarkable piece that transports us into worlds beyond our own imagination. "
