EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Psyche and Juno" transports viewers to the realm of Greek mythology. Created in 1866 by renowned artist Edward Coley Burne-Jones, this woodcut is a testament to his exceptional talent. Measuring at just 10.7x8 cm, it showcases intricate details that bring the scene to life. The print depicts a powerful moment between two female figures - Psyche and Juno. Psyche, a mortal woman on a quest for love, kneels before Juno, the goddess of marriage and childbirth. With an aura surrounding her head symbolizing divinity, Juno listens intently as Psyche pleads for guidance. In this pre-Raphaelite masterpiece, we witness the emotional intensity conveyed through their gestures and expressions. Psyche's posture exudes vulnerability as she implores with outstretched hands while Juno maintains an air of authority. The woodblock technique used by William Morris adds depth to the composition while maintaining its monochromatic elegance. The attention to detail is remarkable; every line meticulously carved into the block contributes to the overall beauty of this artwork. This print serves as a reminder of our fascination with ancient myths and legends that continue to captivate us today. It invites us into a world where mortals seek divine intervention in matters of love and destiny – an eternal theme explored throughout history by artists like Burne-Jones.
