EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting scene from Sir Edward Burne-Jones and Walter Crane's interpretation of William Morris' epic poem, "The Earthly Paradise". Titled "Cupid and Psyche - Palace Green Murals - Psyche receiving the Casket from Proserpine" this oil on canvas masterpiece is housed in the Birmingham Museums and Art Gallery. In this mesmerizing artwork, we witness a momentous event as Psyche receives a casket from Proserpine. The painting depicts an otherworldly landscape with a river flowing through majestic mountains. Cupid and Psyche are at the center of attention, their love evident in their tender embrace. However, there is an air of mystery surrounding them as they appear to be under the influence of some drugged sleep caused by poisonous vapors. The presence of Charon, the boatman of Hades, adds to the ethereal atmosphere. Eros stands nearby while Styx flows ominously beneath them. This pre-Raphaelite piece showcases Burne-Jones' meticulous attention to detail and his ability to create dreamlike narratives that transport viewers into mythical realms. With its rich symbolism and continuous narrative style, this painting invites us to delve into ancient mythology while exploring themes such as love, temptation, and sacrifice. As we gaze upon this extraordinary work of art captured beautifully in this print by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, we are reminded once again why these artists continue to captivate our imaginations centuries later
