EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Psyche setting off in Charons boat, ignoring the old man" we are transported into a mythical world filled with symbolism and emotion. The image is part of the Story of Cupid and Psyche as told by Apuleius, brought to life by the talented artists Antonio Salamanca and Michiel Coxie. At first glance, our attention is drawn to Psyche herself, standing confidently on Charons boat. Her youthful beauty radiates as she embarks on her journey, seemingly oblivious to the old man at her left who humbly requests alms. This striking contrast between youth and age invites us to ponder deeper meanings within the narrative. The composition skillfully captures both physical movement and emotional tension. The flowing lines of Charons boat create a sense of motion while emphasizing Psyche's determination to forge ahead despite distractions. Meanwhile, the old man's outstretched hand conveys longing and vulnerability. As viewers, we are invited to contemplate themes such as compassion, self-discovery, and resilience that lie at the heart of this ancient tale. Through their masterful artistry, Salamanca and Coxie transport us into a realm where myth intertwines with reality. This remarkable print from Artokoloro's Liszt Collection serves as a visual reminder that even in fantastical stories from centuries ago, there are timeless lessons waiting to be discovered anew.
