EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Venus in her dove-drawn chariot complaining to Jupiter who is accompanied by Mercury" transports us back to the 16th century. Created by the talented Master of the Die, this engraving showcases a scene from The Fable of Psyche. In this mythical tale, Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, can be seen riding in her magnificent chariot drawn by doves. She appears distressed as she complains to Jupiter, king of gods and ruler of the heavens. By her side stands Mercury, messenger of the gods and guide between worlds. The detailed etching captures the essence of Italian heritage art with its intricate lines and shading. It takes us on a journey through Roman mythology and literature while highlighting religious symbolism. The setting seems to be a country road where these divine beings have converged for an important conversation or plea. The image beautifully portrays both male and female figures engaged in deep discussion amidst a backdrop filled with background people. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met), this artwork invites viewers to delve into ancient stories that continue to captivate our imagination today. Its timeless appeal lies not only in its artistic mastery but also in its ability to transport us into a world where gods interacted with mortals - a world where myth meets reality.
