EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite 18th century etching and aquatint print, titled "Eros and Psyche" by Jean Claude Richard Saint-Non (1714-1791), depicts the legendary union of the god of love, Eros, and the mortal Psyche. The scene unfolds in a romantic and ethereal setting, with the cherubic figure of Eros tenderly embracing Psyche as they float above a tranquil landscape. The use of brown ink on laid paper adds to the monochrome and timeless quality of the artwork. Jean Claude Richard Saint-Non, also known as Abbé de Saint-Non, was a French artist who was active during the Rococo era. His works were heavily influenced by the art of François Boucher, who was known for his sensuous and mythological subjects. This influence is evident in the delicate and graceful depiction of the figures in this print. The myth of Eros and Psyche is an ancient Greek tale of love and redemption. Psyche, a mortal woman, was granted immortality and the hand of Eros after she proved herself worthy through a series of trials. This print captures the moment of their reunion, a poignant and beautiful representation of the power of love to transcend the boundaries between the divine and the mortal world. This artwork is a testament to the enduring appeal of mythology and the power of art to capture the imagination. It is a treasure of the art world, and can be found in the prestigious National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
