EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print of Panel 30 from the story of Psyche and Cupid, we see the moment when Psyche contemplates taking her own life by drowning herself. The scene is beautifully depicted in stained glass, with intricate details that bring the ancient myth to life.
As she stands on the riverbank, ready to end her suffering, a reed miraculously begins to sing to her. It warns Psyche that the sheep with golden fleeces are dangerous and advises her to gather some of their dropped hairs instead. This unexpected intervention offers a glimmer of hope and guidance in her darkest hour.
The yellow stain and grisaille technique used in this artwork adds depth and emotion to the storytelling, creating a sense of drama and urgency. The delicate colors and fine lines draw us into Psyche's inner turmoil as she grapples with despair and desperation.
Painton Cowen's skillful interpretation of this classic tale invites us to reflect on themes of perseverance, resilience, and divine intervention. As we gaze upon this stunning print, we are reminded that even in our most desperate moments, there is always a flicker of light that can lead us out of darkness.
