EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Plate 19: Ceres at right, leaning on a pedestal, refusing to assist Psyche" 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 a larger series depicting the timeless story of Cupid and Psyche as told by Apuleius. In this particular scene, we witness Ceres, a powerful goddess from Roman mythology, standing resolutely beside a pedestal. Her expression reveals her refusal to aid Psyche in her quest. The intricate details captured by the artist bring forth an air of mystery and tension between these mythological figures. The print not only showcases exceptional artistic skill but also serves as a window into Italian literature and culture during that era. As we delve into this piece's historical significance within Italian heritage art, it becomes apparent how deeply rooted mythology was in society's fabric. Displayed proudly at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met), this work invites viewers to explore their own interpretations while immersing themselves in ancient tales passed down through generations. It reminds us that even centuries later, these mythical figures continue to captivate our imagination and inspire contemplation about human nature and divine intervention. With its monochromatic palette enhancing every delicate line etched onto paper, "Plate 19: Ceres at right" remains an enduring testament to both artistic mastery and our eternal fascination with classical myths.
