EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Plate 23: Psyche on the order of Venus departing to find the golden fleece" takes us back to the enchanting world of Greek mythology. Created by Master of the Die in the 16th century, this engraved masterpiece is part of a larger series known as "The Story of Cupid and Psyche" as told by Apuleius. In this particular scene, we witness Psyche, a mythical figure representing the human soul, receiving an important task from Venus, the goddess of love and beauty. With her delicate features and graceful demeanor, Psyche stands before us as she embarks on her journey to find the coveted golden fleece. The intricate details captured by Master of the Die transport us to ancient Italy where literature and religion intertwine with art. This piece showcases not only exceptional craftsmanship but also serves as a testament to Italian heritage during that era. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met), this engraving invites viewers into a realm where gods and mortals coexist. It reminds us of our fascination with mythological figures who continue to inspire countless stories even today. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded that within every woman lies strength and determination - qualities embodied by Psyche herself. Through its timeless appeal, this artwork encourages us to embark on our own quests for self-discovery while honoring our rich cultural past.
