Aphrodite Cupid Eros Loving Psyche Venus Myth Scolded
EDITORS COMMENTS
Eros and Psyche: A Mother's Displeasure," is a captivating depiction of a classic mythological tale from ancient Greek mythology, as portrayed in this beautiful print from Mary Evans Picture Library. The image captures the moment when the god of love, Eros, also known as Cupid, is reprimanded by his mother, the goddess of love and beauty, Aphrodite, or Venus. The scene unfolds with Eros seated on a rock, his wings spread behind him, looking downcast and dejected. Psyche, the mortal woman whom he has fallen deeply in love with, is shown at his side, her hands clasped in supplication. Aphrodite, in all her regal splendor, stands before them, her expression stern and disapproving. She holds a veil in one hand, a symbol of the divine secret she had kept hidden from mortals, and a whip in the other, a reminder of the power she wields as a goddess. According to the myth, Eros had been ordered by Aphrodite to make Psyche fall in love with the most hideous of creatures. Instead, he fell in love with her himself, revealing his true identity and breaking the goddess's decree. In this print, we see the consequences of Eros' defiance, as Aphrodite scolds him for his disobedience and for daring to love a mortal. This historical image is a testament to the timeless nature of mythology and the enduring power of love, even in the face of divine disapproval. The intricate details of the gods' costumes, the expressive body language, and the rich colors all combine to create a captivating work of art that transports us to another time and place. This print is a must-have for anyone with an interest in classical mythology, art history, or the human condition.
