EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Juno, Ceres, and Psyche in the clouds conversing" transports viewers to a mythical realm where gods and goddesses engage in celestial conversation. Created by Italian artist Marco Dente between 1515-27, this engraving showcases his mastery of detail and composition. In the center of the image sits Juno, queen of the gods, elegantly draped on a cloud with her majestic peacock at her feet. Her regal presence is enhanced by her surroundings as she engages in an animated discussion with Ceres, goddess of agriculture and fertility. Adorned with a garland of wheat symbolizing abundance and growth, Ceres exudes warmth and nurturing energy. On the other side stands Psyche, a mythological figure known for her beauty. Partially naked yet modestly holding a cloth to cover herself, she adds an element of vulnerability to this ethereal scene. The contrast between Juno's commanding presence and Psyche's delicate nature creates an intriguing dynamic within the artwork. The meticulous attention to detail showcased in this Renaissance masterpiece highlights Dente's skill as an engraver. Each line contributes to the overall harmony of the composition while capturing intricate textures such as feathers on the peacock or flowing drapery around Juno. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (not affiliated with any company), this print invites viewers into a world where ancient mythology intertwines with artistic expression. It serves as both a testament to Dente's talent
