EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Plate 14: Cupid airborne fleeing from Psyche, from The Fable of Psyche" takes us back to the enchanting world of Greek mythology. Created by the Master of the Die in the 16th century, this engraving beautifully captures a pivotal moment in the story of Cupid and Psyche. In this scene, we witness Cupid desperately flying away from his beloved Psyche. The disappointment and rejection are palpable as he soars through the air, leaving behind a kneeling Psyche amidst a picturesque landscape. The intricate details within this flemish artwork transport us to another time and place. This piece is inspired by Apuleius' literary masterpiece "The Fable of Psyche" which tells an allegorical tale about love, trust, and perseverance. It is fascinating how Michiel Coxie skillfully brings this mythological narrative to life through his artistic interpretation. As we admire this print today at The Met museum, it serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and the enduring power of ancient stories. It invites us to delve into Roman mythology while appreciating Renaissance artistry. The juxtaposition between nature's beauty with human emotions evokes a sense of longing and introspection that transcends time. This remarkable work continues to captivate viewers with its timeless themes and masterful execution by Master of the Die.
