The Story of Psyche, 1908
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Maurice Denis is a captivating artwork that beautifully captures the essence of Greek mythology and the power of love. In this particular panel, titled "Eros is Struck by Psyche's Beauty" we witness a pivotal moment in the legendary tale. The painting transports us to a lush garden where Eros, also known as Cupid, stands mesmerized before the breathtaking beauty of Psyche. The artist skillfully portrays her standing gracefully amidst the landscape, her flowing dress adding an ethereal touch to her presence. With delicate wings adorning her back, she embodies both vulnerability and strength. Denis' post-impressionist style infuses vibrant colors and soft brushstrokes into this scene, creating an atmosphere that feels dreamlike yet grounded in reality. The use of symbolism further enhances our understanding of the narrative: Eros represents desire and passion while Psyche symbolizes human soul or spirit. As part of Les Nabis artistic movement in France during the early 20th century, Maurice Denis showcases his mastery in capturing mythical figures with emotional depth. This oil painting now resides within the esteemed collection at State Hermitage Museum in St Petersburg. "The Story of Psyche" serves as a timeless reminder that love can strike unexpectedly and transform lives forever. Through Maurice Denis' artistic vision, we are invited to immerse ourselves in this enchanting mythological world where beauty intertwines with longing and desire.
