EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century watercolor print by Johannes Riepenhausen, we are transported to the realm of Greek mythology. The artwork titled "Eros and Anteros with Psyche Looking at Them" showcases three mythical figures engaged in a passionate argument. The scene unfolds as Eros and Anteros, depicted as cherubic boys with wings, engage in an intense dispute. Their arms are raised high in the air, gesturing emphatically as they argue their points. Meanwhile, Psyche, a beautiful female figure, observes the heated exchange with curiosity and concern. Riepenhausen's skillful use of color brings life to this Renaissance-inspired composition. The vibrant hues enhance the angelic qualities of these mythological beings while adding depth to their emotions. Nakedness is portrayed symbolically throughout the artwork, representing vulnerability and raw human nature amidst divine entities. This artistic choice further emphasizes the intensity of the argument taking place. As we gaze upon this intriguing piece housed within the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, we cannot help but be drawn into its narrative power. Riepenhausen masterfully captures both physical beauty and emotional turmoil within his portrayal of these legendary characters from Greek mythology. This exquisite print serves as a testament to Riepenhausen's talent for combining classical themes with his own unique interpretation. It stands as a timeless reminder that even celestial beings can experience conflict and discord – an eternal aspect of human existence captured on paper for all to admire at The Met.
