EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Plate 20 of the renowned artwork "Juno, standing at left, sends away Psyche, who kneels before her" from the Story of Cupid and Psyche as told by Apuleius. Created by the Master of the Die in Italy during the 16th century, this engraved masterpiece beautifully captures a pivotal moment in Greek mythology. In this scene, Juno, a powerful goddess known for her beauty and wisdom, stands tall on the left side while sending away Psyche with a commanding posture. Kneeling before Juno in reverence and submission is Psyche herself - a mythical figure representing love and soul. The intricate details of their garments reflect Italian artistry at its finest. Adding to the allure of this composition is a majestic peacock gracefully perched nearby. Symbolizing immortality and resurrection in Roman mythology, it serves as an emblematic presence within this mythological narrative. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into ancient literature through visual storytelling. It invites us to explore themes such as religion, female empowerment, and human emotions that have transcended time. With its rich historical context and artistic finesse captured by Master of the Die's skilled handiwork, this print serves as both an educational tool for appreciating classical tales and a testament to Italy's cultural heritage.
