EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Plate 10: nymphs assisting Psyche to dress her hair, from The Fable of Psyche, 1530-60" transports us back to the enchanting world of Greek mythology. Created by the talented Master of the Die in the 16th century, this exquisite engraving captures a pivotal moment in the timeless tale of Cupid and Psyche. In this scene, we witness a group of graceful nymphs tenderly helping Psyche adorn her lustrous locks. Their delicate hands delicately weave intricate braids and embellish her hair with ethereal flowers. The attention to detail is remarkable as each strand seems to come alive under their skilled touch. The artist's mastery lies not only in his technical skill but also in his ability to convey emotion through his work. We can almost feel the sense of camaraderie and sisterhood among these mythical beings as they assist one another in adorning Psyche's hair. This artwork serves as a testament to both ancient literature and Renaissance artistry. It beautifully combines elements from Roman mythology with Italian influences, showcasing a harmonious blend between cultures. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print allows us to appreciate Michiel Coxie's contribution to Flemish art while immersing ourselves in an age-old story that continues to captivate our imagination.
