EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Plate 3 of "The Fable of Psyche" from the 16th century. The artwork, created by Master of the Die, depicts a significant moment in Greek mythology. Titled "Psyches two sisters are married to kings" it showcases the story's central character surrounded by her newly wedded siblings. In this Renaissance masterpiece, we witness the marriage ceremony taking place in an Italian setting. Psyche's sisters have found love with monarchs, symbolizing their elevated status within society. The engraving beautifully portrays the emotions felt during this joyous occasion. Michiel Coxie skillfully brings to life Apuleius Lucius Platonicus' tale through intricate details and delicate lines. The artist's Flemish heritage is evident in his meticulous rendering of each figure and their regal attire. As viewers delve into this historical narrative, they become immersed in Roman mythology and its rich symbolism. This artwork not only highlights themes of love and marriage but also explores notions of family dynamics and female empowerment. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print serves as a testament to human creativity throughout centuries. It invites us to appreciate both ancient legends and artistic craftsmanship that transcend time.
