EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Plate 15: Psyche relating her misfortunes to her sisters, from The Fable of Psyche" takes us back to the enchanting world of Greek mythology. Created by Master of the Die in the 16th century, this engraving beautifully depicts a poignant moment in the story of Cupid and Psyche. In this scene, we witness Psyche pouring out her heart to her sisters, recounting the hardships she has endured on her journey. The artist skillfully captures their expressions - one sister appears empathetic while another seems skeptical. It is a powerful portrayal of sisterly bonds tested by adversity. This Flemish artwork showcases Michiel Coxie's mastery as he brings to life Apuleius Lucius Platonicus' literary masterpiece. Through intricate details and delicate lines, Coxie transports us into a realm where mythical figures intertwine with human emotions. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece serves as a testament to both Italian Renaissance artistry and Roman mythology. Its presence evokes curiosity about ancient tales that have shaped our cultural heritage. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded that even in moments of despair and misfortune, there is solace in sharing our burdens with loved ones. It invites contemplation on themes such as resilience, familial support, and personal growth – timeless concepts that continue to resonate across centuries.
