EDITORS COMMENTS
Cupid and Psyche" is a captivating allegorical print by the Flemish artist Anthoni Schoonjans, dating back to an uncertain period. This masterpiece, now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, showcases the artistic prowess of Schoonjans, a prominent figure in the Flanders artistic school. The print depicts the mythological tale of Cupid and Psyche, where the god of love, Cupid, falls in love with the mortal Psyche. In this depiction, Psyche lies asleep, her delicate features etched in monochrome pen and brown ink with brush and brown wash heightened with lead white discolored on tan laid paper. Her peaceful slumber is illuminated by a single lamp, casting an ethereal glow over her naked form. Cupid, the mischievous and powerful god, stands beside her, gazing at her with a tender expression. His nude form, also bathed in the soft light, is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the human form with both sensitivity and precision. The natural setting, with its simple yet effective use of color, further emphasizes the tranquil and romantic scene. This allegorical print is a beautiful representation of the mythological figures, with Cupid and Psyche embodying the concepts of love and beauty. The use of natural lighting and the simple yet effective color palette adds to the overall charm and allure of the artwork, making it a must-see for any art enthusiast or student of mythology. Schoonjans' mastery of the medium is evident in the intricate details of the print, from the delicate lines of Psyche's features to the subtle shading on Cupid's muscular form. This print is a testament to the enduring power of mythology and the artistic vision of Anthoni Schoonjans.
