EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Psyche telling her sisters about her misfortunes" we are transported into the mythical world of Cupid and Psyche as told by Apuleius. The intricate details and masterful execution by artists Antonio Salamanca, Michiel Coxie, and the Master of the Die bring this ancient tale to life. At first glance, our eyes are drawn to Psyche, who stands at the center of the composition. Her delicate features and expressive gestures convey a sense of despair as she recounts her tragic experiences to her sisters. We can almost hear her voice trembling with emotion as she relays each misfortune that has befallen her. Meanwhile, in the upper left corner, we witness a dramatic scene unfolding - Psyche's sisters falling off a precipice. This symbolic representation emphasizes their envy and jealousy towards Psyche's extraordinary beauty which ultimately led them down a treacherous path. The overall composition is rich in color and texture, showcasing the artistic prowess of these talented individuals. The attention to detail is remarkable; every line seems purposefully placed to evoke an emotional response from viewers. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print from Artokoloro's Liszt Collection, we are reminded of the enduring power of storytelling through art. It serves as a testament to humanity's fascination with mythology and our eternal quest for understanding love, beauty, and human nature itself.
