EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases John William Waterhouse's masterpiece, "Psyche entering Cupids Garden" painted in 1903. The oil on canvas painting measures 106.7x68.5 cm and is housed at the Harris Museum and Art Gallery in Preston, Lancashire, UK. In this enchanting scene, Psyche, a mortal princess from Greek mythology, ventures into the secret and forbidden garden of Cupid. As she passes through a magnificent gate adorned with roses, she discovers herself in a pre-Raphaelite paradise filled with lush greenery and blooming flowers. Waterhouse's meticulous attention to detail brings every element of this painting to life – from the delicate petals of each rose to the intricate design of the temple in the background. The soft play of light adds an ethereal quality to Psyche's figure as she stands before the entrance with curiosity and trepidation. The symbolism within this artwork is profound; it represents both love's allure and its potential dangers when one dares to explore forbidden realms. Waterhouse masterfully captures these themes by blending mythological storytelling with his signature style that epitomizes romanticism. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported into a world where beauty intertwines with mystery—a testament to Waterhouse's artistic brilliance that continues to captivate audiences even today.
