EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print titled "First Visit of the Sisters, 1866" we are transported back to a mythical world of love and sisterhood. Designed by Sir Edward Burne-Jones for The Tale of Cupid & Psyche, this intricate artwork was expertly cut in woodblock by William Morris in 1866. The scene depicts three elegant women standing together, their full-length figures exuding an air of classical beauty and grace. Dressed in flowing garments reminiscent of ancient Greek attire, they embody the timeless allure of mythological goddesses. As part of the narrative surrounding Cupid and Psyche, these sisters play a crucial role in testing Psyche's devotion to her divine lover. Their haughty expressions hint at their skepticism towards true love and their desire to see Psyche fail in her quest. Rendered in monochrome tones that add depth and drama to the composition, this pre-Raphaelite masterpiece showcases Burne-Jones' exceptional talent for storytelling through visual art. Each delicate line etched into the woodblock brings forth a sense of mystery and enchantment that is characteristic of his style. This print captures not only a moment frozen in time but also the essence of mythology itself – its power to captivate our imagination with tales as old as time.
