EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, we witness the enchanting moment when Psyche is carried by Mercury to Olympus. Created by Giulio Romano during the Renaissance period, this chalk on paper artwork measures 30.8x23.2 cm and is part of The Devonshire Collections at Chatsworth. The scene depicted here stems from ancient mythology, where Psyche, a mortal princess known for her unparalleled beauty, is transported to Mount Olympus by the god Mercury himself. As she gracefully floats through the air, her delicate form exudes both vulnerability and awe-inspiring elegance. Romano's masterful technique brings this mythological tale to life with intricate details and expert shading. The viewer can almost feel the wind rushing past as Mercury carries Psyche effortlessly towards their divine destination. This drawing not only showcases Romano's artistic prowess but also serves as a testament to the enduring allure of classical myths in Renaissance art. It reminds us of humanity's fascination with gods and goddesses, their powers intertwining with mortal lives in extraordinary ways. As we gaze upon this timeless masterpiece reproduced by Bridgeman Images under permission from Chatsworth Settlement Trustees, we are transported into an ethereal realm where deities roam freely and mortals embark on extraordinary journeys – a reminder that even within our own existence lies limitless potential for greatness and transcendence.
