Cupid and Psyche
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving from the 16th century, created by the renowned Italian artists Giorgio Ghisi and Giulio Romano. This masterpiece, which dates back to the 1570s, is a stunning representation of the mythological tale of love and desire. Ghisi, a skilled engraver, and Romano, a celebrated painter and architect, collaborated to bring this iconic story to life. The image depicts the moment when Cupid, the god of love, reveals his true identity to Psyche, a mortal woman whom he has fallen in love with. Psyche is shown lying on a bed, her eyes closed in blissful ignorance, while Cupid hovers above her, his mischievous smile giving away his divine nature. The black and white contrast of the engraving adds a sense of timelessness and elegance to the image, highlighting the intricate details of the figures and their surroundings. The image is a testament to the artistic prowess of the Renaissance period, with its exploration of human emotion and the divine. This engraving is now part of the impressive collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), located in California, USA. The museum's acquisition of this work is a significant addition to its extensive heritage art collection, which showcases the rich history and cultural significance of the Italian Renaissance. The image of Cupid and Psyche continues to captivate audiences with its timeless story of love and desire, and serves as a reminder of the enduring influence of the Renaissance period on art and culture. The collaboration between Ghisi and Romano resulted in a work of art that continues to inspire and delight, and is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art and mythology.
