EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of intense emotion and drama from the ancient mythological tale of Cupid and Psyche. In this scene, Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, can be seen chastising her mischievous son Cupid as he sits on a bed. The intricate details in the drawing bring to life the intensity of their interaction. The artist skillfully portrays Venus' stern expression as she scolds Cupid for his actions, while he appears remorseful yet defiant. Meanwhile, Psyche stands at the right side of the image, observing this tense exchange with curiosity and concern. The story of Cupid and Psyche is beautifully retold by Apuleius in his renowned novel. It explores themes such as love, jealousy, betrayal, and redemption. This particular print showcases Antonio Salamanca's mastery as both publisher and artist after Michiel Coxie's original work. Salamanca's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; from capturing the delicate folds of fabric to depicting each character's facial expressions with precision. The combination of Italian and Netherlandish influences adds depth to this masterpiece. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from Artokoloro's Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to witness an intimate moment between gods that continues to captivate audiences centuries later.
