EDITORS COMMENTS
In this work of art, the enchanting figure of Psyche, the ancient Greek goddess of the soul, is depicted in a moment of intrigue and longing as she gazes upon the elusive and mesmerizing god of love, Eros. The scene unfolds under the soft glow of twilight, with Psyche's determination to uncover the true identity of her unseen lover driving her to seek him out even as the sun sets. As she approaches the secluded grove where Eros resides, she carefully approaches, her lamp in hand, to catch a glimpse of her beloved. However, in her excitement, she accidentally spills hot oil from the lamp onto Eros, inadvertently waking him from his slumber. The consequences of her actions are initially met with sadness, as Eros, angered by her violation of his privacy, retreats from her, leaving Psyche heartbroken and alone. But as the myth unfolds, the story takes a turn for the better. Through a series of trials and tribulations, Psyche demonstrates her unwavering love and devotion to Eros, ultimately earning his forgiveness and the promise of eternal love. This beautiful print captures the essence of this timeless tale, with its intricate details and evocative use of light and shadow, inviting us to ponder the power of love and the lengths we will go to understand the mysteries of the heart.
