The New Metamorphosis, Plate 6 - The Story of Cupid and Psyche, 1724
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports viewers to the enchanting world of mythology. Created by the talented artist William Hogarth in the 18th century, this allegorical masterpiece beautifully depicts a scene from the timeless tale of Cupid and Psyche. In this mesmerizing image, we find ourselves in a serene bedchamber illuminated by an oil lamp. Asleep on an elegant bed lies Psyche, a stunning female figure representing beauty and innocence. Beside her stands Cupid, the mischievous god of love who has fallen deeply in love with her. Hogarth's meticulous etching skillfully captures every detail - from the delicate folds of their drapery to the subtle expressions on their faces. The use of black and white adds depth to this composition while emphasizing its classical elegance. This artwork not only showcases Hogarth's mastery as an engraver but also reflects his satirical approach to art. Through "The New Metamorphosis" he cleverly intertwines literature with visual storytelling, inviting us into a world where mythical figures come alive. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print serves as a testament to Hogarth's enduring legacy as one of Britain's most celebrated artists. It invites us to delve into our imagination and explore the rich tapestry of human emotions through timeless tales such as that between Cupid and Psyche.
