Plate 7 - Psyche Attended in Her Bath by Nymphs - A Captivating Glimpse into Mythical Hygiene
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This mesmerizing print captures a remarkable scene from the 16th century, depicting an enchanting moment of ancient mythology. In this artwork titled "Plate 7: Psyche attended in her bath by nymphs". Agostino Veneziano skillfully portrays the legendary figure of Psyche being pampered by graceful nymphs during her bath. The image showcases a splendid Italian bathhouse, where Psyche reclines in a luxurious bathtub while surrounded by ethereal nymphs attending to her every need. The attention to detail is exquisite; you can almost feel the soothing warmth emanating from the stove nearby as steam rises gently around them. Veneziano's engraving technique brings out intricate elements such as the ornate jug and ewer used for washing, emphasizing both hygiene and beauty. With flowing hair cascading down her back, Psyche radiates elegance and vulnerability simultaneously. Intriguingly, another representation of Psyche lying in bed can be seen faintly in the background on the right side. This subtle inclusion hints at deeper layers of symbolism within this piece. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print offers us a glimpse into centuries-old concepts of health and well-being. It invites contemplation on notions surrounding nudity, femininity, and mythical figures that continue to captivate our imagination today. Agostino
