EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Plate 10: Nymphs dressing Psyches hair, from the Story of Cupid and Psyche as told by Apuleius" transports us to the enchanting world of Greek mythology. Created by the Master of the Die in the 16th century, this engraved masterpiece showcases a scene filled with divine beauty and ethereal grace. In this artwork, we witness a group of nymphs delicately adorning Psyche's flowing locks. With their gentle touch and serene expressions, these attendants embody elegance and femininity. The attention to detail in their attire reflects the artist's mastery in capturing every intricate fold and curve. The story depicted here is that of Cupid (the Roman god of love) and Psyche (a mortal woman). It is a tale steeped in romance, passion, and trials. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported into their mythical realm where gods mingle with mortals. The Metropolitan Museum of Art proudly houses this exquisite piece within its collection. Its historical significance lies not only in its artistic brilliance but also as an embodiment of Italian literature from centuries past. As we contemplate Plate 10: Nymphs dressing Psyches hair, our imagination takes flight through time and space - connecting us to ancient beliefs while reminding us that art has always been a powerful medium for storytelling across cultures.
