EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported to a bedroom shrouded in darkness, where an exquisite painting takes center stage. Giuseppe Maria Crespi's "Psyche Discovers Cupid" comes to life on canvas, showcasing the artist's mastery of chiaroscuro and his ability to capture the essence of human emotions. The scene unfolds with Psyche, a beautiful young woman, discovering the true identity of her mysterious lover. Bathed in the soft glow of a candle's golden light, she gazes upon Cupid with awe and wonderment. The delicate wings sprouting from his back symbolize their ethereal connection and hint at the divine nature of their love. Crespi skillfully portrays Psyche's vulnerability through her nudity, emphasizing her innocence and purity as she stands before us unabashedly exposed. This nod to Apuleius' "Golden Ass" adds depth to the narrative by exploring themes of transformation and self-discovery. As our eyes traverse every brushstroke on this mesmerizing artwork captured by Nicolo Orsi Battaglini's lens, we are reminded that art has no boundaries or limitations. It transcends time and space while evoking powerful emotions within us all. This print serves as a testament to both Crespi's artistic genius and Battaglini's talent for capturing its essence. It invites us into a world where beauty meets vulnerability under the veil of darkness – an eternal moment frozen in time for all admirers of fine art to cherish forever
