EDITORS COMMENTS
The Admission of Psyche to Olympia" is a captivating engraving by François Perrier, created around 1635. This exquisite work of art is a testament to the rich heritage of European art, specifically from the 17th century in France. The scene depicts the moment when the god of the sky, Jupiter, grants Psyche, a mortal woman, entry into Olympia, the realm of the gods. In this enchanting image, Psyche, dressed in elegant robes, is delicately carried by Zephyrus, the god of the west wind, as she ascends to the heavens. Her face is filled with wonder and awe, reflecting the overwhelming experience of being in the presence of the divine. The gods, including Venus, the goddess of love, and Cupid, observe the scene with curiosity and approval. Perrier masterfully etched this image on laid paper, resulting in a monochrome, evocative piece that transports viewers to the mythological world of ancient Greece. The intricate details and delicate shading showcase the artist's exceptional skill and dedication to his craft. This engraving is a precious addition to any art collection or gallery, offering a glimpse into the world of mythology and the divine realm of the gods. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is fortunate to house this magnificent work, allowing visitors to appreciate the artistry and historical significance of François Perrier's "The Admission of Psyche to Olympia." François Perrier, a skilled artist from France, created this masterpiece in the same era as the renowned Raphael, showcasing the artistic excellence of the 17th century. The engraving is a stunning representation of the fusion of mythology, religion, and art, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Europe.
