EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraved wooden block depicting "The Story of Cupid and Psyche - Venus" after the renowned artist Edward Coley Burne-Jones. Measuring 14x10 cm, this exquisite artwork can be found at the Manchester Art Gallery in the UK. In this enchanting scene, a naked female figure is elegantly wrapped in her own long hair. Standing on the shoreline of a serene body of water, she is surrounded by graceful birds while majestic mountains rise in the background. To her right stands a pagoda, adding to the ethereal atmosphere. This particular print is one of several proof impressions from four previously unpublished engravings. The female character portrayed here represents Venus, as illustrated for "The Story of Cupid and Psyche" a work written and engraved by William Morris. To highlight the intricate details of this woodcut masterpiece, white powder has been delicately rubbed into the block. This technique accentuates both printing lines and areas that have been expertly cut from the wood. With its mythical theme, timeless beauty, and meticulous craftsmanship, this print transports viewers into a world where gods and goddesses reign supreme. It exemplifies not only Burne-Jones' artistic prowess but also pays homage to Victorian aesthetics and pre-Raphaelite artistry. A true treasure within Manchester Art Gallery's collection!
