EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection showcases a mesmerizing scene of mythological beauty. In Plate 22, we witness Venus, the goddess of love and beauty, standing with authority on the right side of the image. She is depicted in all her divine glory as she orders Psyche to sort through a pile of grain on the left. The intricate details and masterful technique employed by Antonio Salamanca, Michiel Coxie (I), and Master of the Die bring this ancient tale to life. The Story of Cupid and Psyche, as told by Apuleius, unfolds before our eyes through their artistic vision. In this particular moment captured in time, Venus holds a loaf of bread alongside Psyche. This symbolic gesture hints at both sustenance and temptation within their complex relationship. As viewers gaze upon this print, they are transported back to an era where gods mingled with mortals and mythical tales held great significance. The fusion between Italian and Netherlandish influences is evident in every stroke of color that adorns this print. It serves as a testament to the talent and creativity that flourished during this period in art history. Artokoloro has once again curated an exceptional piece for its collection - one that invites us into a world filled with enchantment, emotion, and timeless storytelling.
