EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing scene from the Palace Green Murals, depicting "Cupid and Psyche - Zephyrus Bearing Psyche to the Mountain". Painted by renowned artists Sir Edward Burne-Jones and Walter Crane, this oil on canvas masterpiece is housed in the Birmingham Museums and Art Gallery. In this enchanting composition, we witness the god of the wind, Zephyrus, gently carrying the slumbering figure of Psyche. Cupid's beloved lies peacefully in his arms as they ascend towards an unknown destination atop a majestic mountain. The delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors bring life to this pre-Raphaelite artwork. Inspired by William Morris' epic poem, The Earthly Paradise, Burne-Jones skillfully portrays Apuleius' timeless tale of love and adventure. The painting beautifully captures both vulnerability and strength through its portrayal of a sleeping male figure carried effortlessly by divine forces. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported into a world where mythical beings coexist with mortals. It evokes feelings of wonderment and curiosity about what lies ahead for these characters on their journey. This remarkable piece serves as a testament to Burne-Jones' mastery in storytelling through artistry. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate its beauty while honoring its historical significance.
