Psyche's Fateful Decision: A Masterpiece by Michiel Coxie, Master of the Die (circa 1520-1535) This engraving, titled "Psyche Opens the Fateful Box," is a stunning work of art from the Flemish artistic school of the 16th century, created by the renowned Master of the Die, Michiel Coxie. The image is a part of the series depicting the fable of Cupid and Psyche. The mythological figure of Psyche, a beautiful woman beloved by the god of love, Cupid, is depicted in the center of the image. With an expression of both curiosity and trepidation, she cautiously opens a small, ornate box given to her by Cupid. The box, which holds the secret to her immortality, is guarded by a pair of angels, their wings outstretched protectively. The intricate details of the engraving, from the delicate folds of Psyche's gown to the delicate lines of the angels' wings, showcase the exceptional skill and artistry of Master of the Die, Michiel Coxie. The black and white contrast of the image adds a sense of drama and mystery, enhancing the allegorical nature of the work. This engraving, which dates back to the 1520s or 1530s, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Flanders, Belgium, and Europe during the Renaissance period. It can now be found in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, a testament to its enduring value and significance in the world of art.
