EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Plate 11: Psyche offering presents to her sisters who also appear on the clouds at upper right" transports us back to the enchanting world of Greek mythology. Created by the Master of the Die in the 16th century, this engraved masterpiece is part of a larger series depicting the timeless tale of Cupid and Psyche as told by Apuleius. In this particular scene, we witness Psyche, a mythical figure known for her beauty and grace, presenting gifts to her sisters. The ethereal clouds serve as their meeting place, adding an otherworldly atmosphere to the composition. As we gaze upon these three women suspended in mid-air, we are reminded of their divine lineage and their connection to Roman mythology. The intricate details captured by the Master of the Die showcase his exceptional skill as an artist. Every line etched into this engraving tells a story - from Psyche's delicate features to her sisters' expressions filled with awe and admiration. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print not only serves as a visual delight but also pays homage to Italian literature and heritage. It invites us into a realm where gods and goddesses intertwine with mortal lives, exploring themes such as love, sacrifice, and family bonds. As we admire Plate 11 within its historical context, it becomes evident that it is not just an artwork; rather it is a window into ancient tales that continue to captivate our imagination even today.
