EDITORS COMMENTS
The Song while she Eats, 1866 (woodcut) captures a captivating moment in the classical tale of Cupid and Psyche. Designed by Sir Edward Burne-Jones for The Tale of Cupid & Psyche, this woodcut print showcases the intricate craftsmanship of William Morris. Measuring at 10.4x8.1 cm, it is a small yet powerful piece that resides in a private collection. In this scene, we witness Psyche indulging in her meal while being serenaded by an unseen songstress. The monochrome composition adds to the ethereal ambiance as she dines within an intimate interior setting. This pre-Raphaelite masterpiece beautifully depicts the fusion of mythology and everyday life. The image symbolizes more than just a simple dining experience; it represents love's trials and quests found within ancient Greek and Roman mythologies. As Psyche enjoys her meal, she embarks on a journey filled with challenges and self-discovery alongside her beloved Cupid. This woodcut print transports us back to an era where myths were woven into daily existence, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy. It invites viewers to immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of classical tales while appreciating the skillful artistry behind its creation. Courtesy of Julian Hartnoll gallery, this artwork reminds us that even amidst our own meals or mundane routines, there is always room for magic and enchantment.
