EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Edward Coley Burne-Jones' masterpiece, "Cupid and Psyche" painted around 1865. The artwork, created using watercolor, bodycolor, and pastel on paper mounted on linen, measures 70.3x48.3 cm and is currently housed in the Yale Center for British Art's prestigious collection. The painting depicts a scene from Greek mythology featuring Cupid, the winged god of love, and Psyche, a beautiful maiden. Cupid is shown with his signature bow and arrows while gazing lovingly at Psyche. The delicate details in their figures are brought to life through Burne-Jones' meticulous brushwork. As part of the Pre-Raphaelite movement that emerged during the Victorian era, this piece embodies the romanticism and attention to detail characteristic of this artistic style. It transports viewers into a world where mythical beings coexist with mortals. The image captures an ethereal quality as it highlights both the vulnerability of Psyche as she gazes back at Cupid with adoration and his divine presence as he hovers above her. This juxtaposition creates a sense of enchantment that draws viewers into their timeless love story. This print serves as a reminder of Burne-Jones' exceptional talent in capturing emotion through artistry while also paying homage to the rich history behind classical mythology.
