EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Plate 12: Psyches sisters persuading Psyche that she has been sleeping with a serpent" transports us back to the enchanting world of Greek mythology. Created by the talented Master of the Die in the 16th century, this engraved masterpiece is part of the Story of Cupid and Psyche as told by Apuleius. In this particular scene, we witness an intense conversation between three women - Psyche and her two sisters. The artist skillfully captures their emotions through intricate details and delicate shading. As they gather around Psyche, their expressions reveal concern mixed with curiosity, hinting at a pivotal moment in the story. The mythological figure of Psyche stands at the center, her face reflecting disbelief as her sisters attempt to convince her that she has been sharing her bed with a serpent. This dramatic revelation adds depth to an already complex narrative filled with love, betrayal, and divine intervention. Displayed proudly within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this Italian engraving showcases not only artistic mastery but also serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with ancient tales. It reminds us how mythology continues to inspire generations across time and cultures. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Heritage Images' archives, we are reminded of the power stories hold in shaping our understanding of ourselves and our place in history.
