EDITORS COMMENTS

This stunning tempera on panel print, measuring 79x31 cm, depicts four distinct tasks assigned to Psyche by Venus. In this enchanting artwork, each panel showcases one of the challenging tasks faced by Psyche. From The Task of the Seeds to The Task of the Golden Fleece, The Task of the Black Fountain, and finally The Task of the Casket; every detail is meticulously portrayed. The composition transports us into a mythical realm where we witness Psyche's journey unfold. We see her traversing rivers and climbing steps while encountering various elements such as love, sleep, flowers, eagles, ants, and even a serpent. These symbolic representations add depth to the narrative and evoke emotions within us. Stanhope's pre-Raphaelite style shines through in his attention to detail and use of vibrant colors. Each frame tells its own story but also contributes to an overarching tale that explores themes like beauty, labor, immortality, and temptation. This particular print captures all these nuances perfectly thanks to ePeter Nahum at The Leicester Galleries in London. It allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate Stanhope's genius from their own private collections. "The Labours of Psyche" is not just a painting; it is an immersive experience that takes us on a visual journey through mythology and human emotion.
