EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print, titled "Psyche Spying" transports viewers to a mythical realm filled with intrigue and romance. Created in 1866 by the renowned artist Sir Edward Burne-Jones, this piece is part of his iconic series inspired by The Tale of Cupid & Psyche. Measuring at 10.3x15.8 cm, this delicate artwork showcases Burne-Jones' exceptional attention to detail and mastery of the woodblock technique. Executed by William Morris, another celebrated figure from the Pre-Raphaelite movement, the print beautifully captures the essence of classical mythology. In this scene, we find ourselves inside a bedroom where Psyche curiously watches over her slumbering lover, Cupid. With wings gently spread behind her back, she embodies both innocence and mischief as she spies on him in secret. The monochrome color palette adds an ethereal quality to the composition while emphasizing its timeless appeal. The four-poster bed and classical furnishings further enhance the sense of ancient grandeur within this mythological setting. As we gaze upon this enchanting image from Fine Art Finder's collection courtesy of Julian Hartnoll gallery, we are reminded of love's trials and quests that transcend time itself. This woodcut invites us into a world where gods walk among mortals and whispers echo through chambers steeped in ancient lore.
