EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print, titled "Venus Sending Cupid to Psyche" transports us back to the enchanting world of Greek mythology. Created in 1866 by Sir Edward Burne-Jones and skillfully cut in woodblock by William Morris, this artwork measures a delicate 10.9x8 cm and is now housed in a private collection. The scene depicted here is from The Tale of Cupid & Psyche, where Venus, the goddess of love herself, commands her son Cupid on a divine mission. Standing tall and nude with his wings spread wide, Cupid prepares to embark on an extraordinary quest for love. Every detail in this monochrome composition exudes classical beauty and celestial grace. The Pre-Raphaelite style shines through as we witness the mythological figures come alive before our eyes. Psyche's nakedness symbolizes vulnerability while Venus' commanding presence is enhanced by her Roman halo. This exquisite print captures the essence of love's power and explores themes of desire, trial, and devotion that have fascinated artists throughout history. As we gaze upon this masterpiece from Fine Art Finder courtesy of Bridgeman Images, we are reminded once again why mythology continues to captivate our imagination across time and cultures.
