EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported into the mythical world of "The Story of Psyche: Psyche Borne by Zephyr". The silvered bronze sculpture, created by Harry Bates in the late 19th century, captures a pivotal moment in the narrative. At its center lies a reclining maiden, embodying both vulnerability and beauty. Her nude form symbolizes purity and innocence as she is carried effortlessly through the air. This delicate figure represents none other than Psyche herself - a mortal woman who captivated even the gods with her extraordinary allure. Hovering above her is Zephyr, the wind god. His presence signifies an ethereal connection between mortals and immortals. As he cradles Psyche in his arms, his gentle touch conveys protection and grace. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every curve and contour of this exquisite relief sculpture. The play of light on the silvered bronze enhances its timeless elegance, adding depth to each intricate feature. This particular print allows us to appreciate not only Bates' artistic prowess but also provides insight into ancient mythology and its portrayal of feminine beauty. It serves as a reminder that true beauty lies not just in physical appearance but also within one's spirit. Displayed against a neutral background, this artwork invites contemplation while showcasing the skillful craftsmanship that has made it an enduring piece of art history.
