EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Joseph Paelinck's masterpiece, "The Toilet of Psyche". The image portrays a mesmerizing interior scene within a grand palace, where the mythical figure Psyche is depicted in an intimate moment. Seated naked on a chair, she is surrounded by both dressed and half-naked servants who attend to her every need. The composition exudes elegance and opulence as one servant delicately holds up a mirror for Psyche to admire herself while another carefully tends to her hair. The contrast between Psyche's vulnerability and the servitude of those around her creates a sense of power dynamics at play. Paelinck skillfully captures the beauty and grace of this mythological tale through his masterful use of oil paint on canvas. The dimensions of this artwork are impressive, measuring 277 cm in height, 362 cm in width, and 4 cm in thickness. As we gaze upon this exquisite print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back to Brussels in 1823 when Paelinck first unveiled his creation. This piece invites us to contemplate themes such as femininity, vanity, and societal roles that continue to resonate with audiences today
