EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, created between 1520 and 1535 by the Master of the Die, depicts a pivotal moment from the ancient Roman myth of Cupid and Psyche. In the image, Psyche, a beautiful mortal woman, is being carried on a litter to the mountain peak where she will be reunited with her true love, the god of love, Cupid. The Master of the Die, also known as Michiel Coxcie or Michiel Coxie, was an influential Flemish artist active in the 16th century. This engraving, laid down on paper, is a testament to the artist's exceptional skill in capturing the delicate balance between the human form and the natural world. The mountainous landscape in the background is rendered with intricate detail, showcasing the artist's mastery of geographical features. Psyche, dressed in elegant robes, is being carried by two attendants, her face expressing a mixture of anticipation and trepidation. The image is a poignant reminder of the trials and tribulations that Psyche faced in her quest for love and acceptance, ultimately leading to her union with Cupid. This engraving is now part of the esteemed collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences. The Fable of Cupid and Psyche remains a beloved myth in the annals of Roman mythology, and this beautiful work of art serves as a testament to its enduring appeal.
